Hi,
I swapped a 2 gang switched socket for a 2 gang switchless socket with usb ports downstairs.
I switched off all the power to the house by pulling down the double red switch on the rcd box.
When I turned it back on the individual rcd switch for the downstairs circuit tripped.
I turned everything back off to check I had wired up the socket correctly and I had.
I turned the rcd back on but the individual switch for the downstairs circuit tripped again.
I pushed it back up and everything works fine and have done for the last few days.
Is this normal for a switchless socket to do this?
Thanks
