    RCD Tripping - Advice Needed

    @Gasinspect that's exactly what I thought, I think the hot tub is just touching the brim and causing it to trip. It explains the intermittence trips as its probably the hot tub just automatically turning on its pump/heater or blowers. Just to confirm though, if I get all RCBO's for all...

    RCD Tripping - Advice Needed

    Ok thanks for all your replies. @Murdoch I'll have a look at the paperwork tomorrow, all I remember however is them saying something about our house wiring was tripping because of a "shared neutral" ? I'm not sure if that's the reason the MCB is there.

    RCD Tripping - Advice Needed

    Thanks for your reply @Murdoch, I'm not sure of any scheme or logo's, I can ask him when I call him next. I'm from Northampton. Going back to how to resolve this, from what it sounds, is this a big bodge up? will I need another electrician to rewire the whole thing? or is it easy to fix? I'm...
