Currently being driven nuts by the above... I have a split load CU. When the RCD trips, it's only that which goes; ie none of the MCBs trips at the same time which means there's not much for me to go on.
Question 1: if, for diagnostic purposes, I switch off each circuit in turn by manually flipping its MCB, does that actually isolate the circuits for the purpose of elimination? Or would I need to open the CU and physically disconnect all the cables from each circuit in turn, completely?
Question 2: what does the fact that no MCBs are tripping; and the trips occur at apparently random intervals (4-5 times in the last day, with interval of up to ~10 hours so far, and including an overnight trip; and no problem with reinstating the RCD immediately) tell me about the nature of the fault, if anything?
Thanks for any pointers!
