Struggling to work this one out. My house downstair's electrics keep tripping:
- only started after old meter was replaced with a smart meter;
- always happens (bar perhaps one time) when the oven is heating up, will be on a minute or two so isn't instant, but it's before it reaches temperature. Might trip 2, 3 or 4 times, then will work afterwards. Sometimes doesn't trip at all (seems worst in the evenings, but tried it at 12:30 today and didn't trip at all);
- don't know how old oven is, but at least 9 years old and was here before we moved in;
- downstairs RCD trips, but the oven has its own fuse and never trips. Sometimes the garage fuse does trip, but I've turned the garage fuse off and the RCD has still tripped when using the oven.
So is this the oven causing this? The wiring? Something else on the circuit? Or is it all linked to the smart meter installation?
Any help/suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
