What can I do if my RCD circuits are tripping?!

1. If it's an RCD that's tripping, go to your Distribution board; set all the circuits into the off position, set your main switch to on followed by your RCD. With all circuit breakers off, your RCD should reset.
2. If you have a fault that's been detected by the RCD, you'll find that as you go through the next stage, your RCD will trip when you've found where the fault is.
3. Start from the right and work your way left, turning each circuit on with the RCD in the ON position.
4. When you come across the faulty circuit, the RCD will trip. This means you have isolated the area in which the fault has occurred!
5. Next action. Unplug all appliances in that area connected to the faulty outlets, and if you can remove the fuses to spurs that control fixed appliances.
6. You have now isolated your fault, in order to rectify this problem, call the professionals, namely us!
7. The more time you spend identifying the fault, the less time an engineer will need to be onsite, therefore, you save yourself money!
