RCD info?

Hi Kappy,

No, those ones are a single pole. (single width, one screw at the top and one at the bottom)

It has to be double pole.

One of the off switch RCD is the tripper and the other is a disconnected circuit hotplate faulty.
No its the green one.
Are we suggesting having these charged?

Believe these done around 2011.

Ok, sorry, I was thinking there was a double pole RCD installed.

It looks like there are multiple single pole CB/RCD's installed.

Kappy, if it is the first green one on the left, it looks like that is labelled air con. If that is correct, could you turn off all the other circuit breakers and tell us what is actually still working in? By a process of elimination we can work it out.

I just finished reading this subject and went to my Telsta site to open my emails, first thing to come up was this [with picture].

Are you running on the inverter or mains power when it happens Kappy? Always tricky trying to find out if the trip is an active to earth, neutral to earth after the RCD or an overload. Unless the overload is substantial, it takes a while for a circuit breaker to trip, they are designed that way, but a short to the earth should be instant. Moisture in a switching circuit will cause it, that is why electric fridges often had their own special trip switch .... can't remember the letter combination but it was intended to get around the false tripping problem.
The one in the photo with "This one" written across it says "Air Conditioner" under it, are you saying the jug stops when this RCD trips?

Currently running on mains.

The labels aren't relevant anymore.

The thing is, it seems to trip when there is no current draw at all lately and even when running kettle etc.

Maybe dampness in the air, the last few day have been warmer

Has happened also when running on invertor.

Have organised some twin pole breakers to replace. Having said all that the circuit hasn't tripped now for 3 days.

This has been happening for some time off and on

Do you have surge protectors anywhere on the circuit?

I had the same on the last van, would trip out even when not using any power, traced it down to a surge protector, removed it and no more problems,.
