I have a 12way consumer unit which is fitted with:
7 x 32 amp MCB which cover: 4 ring circuits, 1 circuit for the garden which includes a hot tub, 1 oven circuit and 1 going to the hob.
3 x 6 amp MCB covering the lighting circuits.
2 x 16 amp MCB one for the E/Heater and the other for the underfloor heating in the kitchen.
The total installation is covered with a 63amp 30ma RCD. all was fine until we added the underfloor heating. we now have the RCD tripping at different times during the evening or early morning. I have double checked the underfloor heating circuit and it is fine. Am I overloading the RCD? should I up rate to a 100amp? I have found that if I switch off any of the major circuits the tripping stops
