[QUOTE="runningpiglet, post: 526738, member: 12468"] Some RCDs are overly sensitive to spark interference and misinterpret as a current imbalance. Sparks often occur as contacts open like when you say the oven reaches temperature or when turning the switch at an unfortunate speed. The fault is really in two places, firstly the contacts are wearing and need replacement or cleaning or fitting an arc suppression device, secondly the RCD is wrongly detecting arc interference. Fixing the source of problem (the arky contacts) is the better option. [/QUOTE]
