[QUOTE="Lazy Sod, post: 6162284, member: 207"] [ATTACH=full]786006[/ATTACH] One for the electrical experts. I have a pair of wall lights in my lounge and sometimes when I turn them off, the power goes off. As you can see, in the consumer unit there are 2 RCDs each controlling 5 individual trips. When the problem occurs, it is the right hand RCD that has dropped down. The trip immediately to the right of it is the one for the downstairs lights, but it remains up. I had thought that perhaps the switch was arcing a bit when it opens, so I replaced it but it made no difference. I would have thought that the light circuit trip should go first, not the RCD. Is the RCD too sensitive? An electrician who I talked to said it made no sense and could offer no suggestions. [/QUOTE]
