- If your residual current device (RCD) continues to trip, it is highly probable that there is an electrical issue within your house, causing one of the circuit breakers to switch off the RCD. Discover how to identify the specific circuit breaker that is tripping, isolate the malfunctioning electrical equipment, and reset the RCD to restore power.

Can’t thank you enough. Really simple video and easy to follow
Glad it helped
Cheers! My wife had half-plugged in the kettle and tripped the circuit. Couldn't understand why the switch wouldn't switch on until I unplugged everything.
👍
This video is so simple, clear & perfect explanation!!!
Good on you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Many thanks for this so clear video - isolated the problem to our 40 year old freezer! 1:44
Glad it helped!
Great video for the lay consumer , no jargon 😊
you are welcome
Thanks so much but now I'm sad. I think it was my extension lead that my dad made. It is probably a couple of decades old though but it's so solid I thought it would last forever! ☺️ Is there any chance it's just a fuse or something or does it mean it's faulty & needs to be binned?
Excellent video thanks. I have now at least got all the lights working with the circuit breaker to the kitchen not working. The rest of the power points to the house were ok as they are on a different circuit. Call the sparky on Monday morning!
Excel video, common sense and methodical approach.
Much appreciated!
Hi, I have got a problem in my cooker. 3 of them are working but particularly one cooker place is tripping out the RCD. How can I solve this? Any idea?
Investigate your cooker, Maybe the heater element inside your cooker is broken
You’re a lifesaver man, thank you
My pleasure
If its faulty, do I have to get a eletri Ian come and fix it or would buying a new one cure the problem?
Probably best if you call an electrician
Thanks for the video. It confirmed my attempt to find my problem. However, the problem still exists..hahahahahahaha....My RCD would not reset, and I found the breaker that popped it. However, I can rest both the RCD and the breaker and after about a week, it pops again. I have isolated it to two rooms. I unplugged everything and I put a load on the circuit, but neither the breaker or RCD will pop. It happens randomly. Right now, everything is reset and I have everything plugged in and ON. No popping of either breaker. It happens about once a week and unfortunately, two times this week. Once while we were on vacation and we lost everything in our freezer and refer while away. It isn't consistent so I can't find the problem. That issue was not addressed in the video, but the isolation you spoke of is absolutely correct. I just can isolate my problem. All items plugged in work without problem and nothing breaks the circuit by either being turned on or plugged in. CRAZY. The visiting electrician found nothing wrong. If you have another video of this type of problem, could you link for me. I have yet to find the answer.
If the circuit breaker and the RCD tripping at the same time you do have a short circuit between live and earth you need an electrician to attend and break the circuit down
@@yassinbenosman5768 Hi, thanks for writing. Nope, only the RCD pops off. Once I turn all breakers off then reset the RCD, I turn on each breaker one by one. At the third breaker, POP goes the RCD. But, everything resets normally and now I am on day five of no incidents. My longest run is 14 days, so I'm hopeful for a longer episode of no issues. No electrician has time or wants to come out and take a look. Landlord says to deal with it...LMAO.
Hi, even with all the switches off my RCD just flips off again? Would replacing the RCD work or do I need an electrician
thanks for the video, very uncomplicated and easy to understand. thanks
You are welcome!
I unplugged everything and the socket switch would not stay on, in fact it made a buzzing noise making the green light go weird
I have this same problem
Did you get a solution?
Same,Any solution for that?
Thank you
I feel so independent and grown up 😂
😂Good for you
Very helpful -would you then test the Appliance, the extension or both?
Thank you so much. It's Christmas day and the lights and part of the house had been put all day
Sorry this was meant for the main video thread
so helpful mate was comming over and this vid fixed it😂
Thank you so much! It helped me a lot! Very simple and easy instructions! 😁
You're welcome!
What if the appliance that is tripping the RCD isn't faulty? How would you resolve the issue then?
If an appliance is tripping the RCD, the appliance is faulty.
If you can't find a faulty appliance it could be a bad breaker.
Thanks for the video it really helped me a lot.
You're welcome!
