Which suggests they were tripping a RCD rather than a MCB?
(circuits of IT kit are well known for having high leakage currents)
Which results in you the landlord getting a bill for the emergency electrician the tenant called when they discovered the landlord was acting like a childish prick.
Yes poor choice of word... I would suggest 1 is simpler.
(except for parrot boy of course - but we kind of expect that!)
Indeed that would take a special talent ;-)
Well it keeps him off the streets.
A bit more on the subject.
3 computers, 2 printers, label printer, monitor, scanner, 1 network router, 1 network hub, 1 printer server, desk lamp, telephone. 12 here.
Think you have problems?
8 computers, 1 telephone, 2 printers, 1 scanner, 2 monitors, 2 switches, 1 router, 1 ATA, 1 PSU for front door control system. And a couple spare for laptop chargers, battery charger, etc.
There are special MCBs that are rated for motors. I never have nuisance MCB trips. I do have nuisance RCD trips.
Foolishly designed system. Each computer should have had individual protection if it was that important.
No, twice is more like.
He was there doing other rewiring anyway. And redecorating afterwards.
It wasn't important, it was some stupid regulation when the CU was fitted. It took months for me to persuade the electricians to put in less sensitive breakers (against the regulations).
Why should you have to work out where you're going to plug in what and fit the right breakers? What a nuisance.
QED, it's why I have no RCDs in the house.
Yes, or worse. I wonder who'd end up having to pay it according to the law.

Then use the correct one.
They're against the regs.
I never said they were.
Harry's the fool with "nuisance RCD trips" (his words). I have no such problem.
