[QUOTE="michael8554, post: 561597, member: 34375"] Unplug everything plugged into the 7 bar sockets and reset the bar RCBO and the RCCB ? breaker in the house. If they don't trip, then plug each bar item in, [B]only one in place each time[/B]. Then if there's no tripping plug in [B]all [/B]the bar items. If it does trip then that means the combined residual current leakage of all the devices adds up to more than the RCD can handle. One of the devices with a heating element, such as a kettle or dishwasher, may be starting to leak too much current to earth. [/QUOTE]
