[QUOTE="coldywire, post: 506803, member: 33566"] Hi everyone, RCD breaker tripped one afternoon, 1-2 minutes after my missus switched OFF the electric oven (the vent fan within was still spinning). No other big current drawers (or previous knickers) were on. Switched RCD back on, and everything powered up normally. This semi house is (modern) built in 2011, CU is Wylex (so are all the breakers, including two 80A 30mA RCDs -- WRS80/2). I briefly turned on the cooker today together with kettle and toaster, nothing tripped (even amped the oven to 11 - i.e. grill mode of 285 degrees). Is this a one off, or should I start looking for an offender? Especially when I'm planning to have an EV in the near future (charging around 5-10A using the simple socket plug until a proper wall charger gets installed, but no rush with that). Could I stress-test the system somehow prior to committing to an EV purchase, to avoid disappointment? This RCD trip didn't add confidence, hence my first post on here:) Also, moved in to this place less than a year ago, thus not got much history of this electrickery. Thank you all! Coldy [/QUOTE]
