Title: TRIPPINg RCD
Post by Mb on Feb 2^nd, 2019, 2:17pm

Hello every1, i Have a problem with intermittent tripping on my Hager RCD. its been going on for a time now and its driving me crazy. i intend to call in a sparks but wondered if i could get some advice first. After looking at my consumer unit (wylex 100A) i noticed it had 2x6A NSBs, 2x16A NSBs, and 3x32A NSBs, which add to 140A. The rating says 100A MAX, could this be the problem?
one of the 32A NSBs is for an electric shower which has been removed and switched to off position. i included a snapshot as i dont really know what im talking about!
Many thanx

Diversity is applied to the final circuits. There is nothing wrong with the setup you have, it is extremely common.

What trip is operating?
