Fault finding help

[madeinengland]

you'll probably find that they've got an old fridge or fridge feezer and there is a fault on it which is gradually building up.so sometimes the fridge is fine and other days it is not.you'll probably find that you don't pick up the fault even on a pat test. when the thermostat kicks in and then the motor or whatever starts to cool the fridge back down it draws more current and therefore trips the rcd/rccb.change the fridge is the best way.

i have a problem with regular random RCD operation found this to be the under floor heating, this has been disconnected with the intenton of reconnecting on seperate RCD supply, circuits fed via split load CU with 80A 30mA RCD, RCD feeds kitchen ring, oven, microwave, garage and utility circuits, main switch suppling all lighting and first floor sockets. RCD has not operated for the last 3 days, but customer has just called to say it has tripped when a lamp blew in the kitchen, now as far as i am aware this should have know bearing on the RCD operation as it is is fed via main switch, can someone advise.
