[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 424573, member: 6969"] That smells of either BS or incompetence. That RCD ia rated at 100A so it can take all the power the house can use. The issue appears he has neither tested the RCD for correct operation,. or tested any of the circuits to see which one(s) has the leakage. There is an argument for changing the board as he suggests but that is ONLY so that only part of the house trips if there is a fault. Changing the board will NOT stop it tripping, unless of course the reason for tripping is the present RCD is over sensitive. and if that is the case you only need to replace the defective RCD, not the whole board.
