- Turn the RCD off (if both RCD’s are tripping turn both of them off).
- Turn off each circuit breaker (MCB) that the RCD is protecting.
- Turn on the RCD(s) Individually one by one switch on each circuit breaker (MCB).
- when turning on each circuit breaker (MCB), the RCD has tripped you have identified the circuit with the fault on it leave this in the off position and turn the RCD back on.
- If the circuit is powering sockets go around the house and disconnect all appliances remember to switch off all fused connection units.
- Go back to the consumer unit, try to switch back on the suspect MCB.
- One by one go around the house plug back in the appliances remember fused connection unit can be turned back on.
- When the RCD trips out the faulty appliance is now identified that created the tripping issue.
