[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 525425, member: 250"] RCB??? I assume you mean RCD.. An RCD tester can be used to verify an RCD is operating correctly, (ie Not over sensitive and not too slowly), by following the guidance of BS7671 wiring regulations. Any wiring can be tested by using continuity and insulation resistance tests to again verify compliance with BS7671.. If both of these have been done it would suggest it is not the RCD or the cables at fault.. BUT.. you do not say if the oven RCD also supplies other circuits? In which case it could be multiple devices together causing the trip.. But also if it is being rewired I would have expected individual RCBO's for every circuit.. NOT shared RCD's which are just a bad idea and poor design option from the start! [/QUOTE]
