    Nussance tripping rcds

    Have you considered a loose neutral? I've seen this before, where the incoming neutral was loose in the supply meter supply side. May be worth checking tightness of all neutrals, from meter onwards. Plus if there's 2 phases in the property, do they need to be balanced?
