Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a trivial problem.
Problem:
When powering on any electrical equipment in my study (PC/Vacuum cleaner/lamp/lights etc) the RCD powerpoint trips and all powerpoints and lights power off.
The RCD powerpoint i have is: http://www.hpm.com.au/Products.aspx?pid=158 (30mA Electresafe powerpoint - 777EL30)
Insight:
- The study is separate to the house.
- On the distribution board i can see its an old style fuse and that it currently has a 20amp wire running through it.
- The RCD powerpoint doesn't ever have anything plugged in to it and does not get used.
- When turning on the lights the RCD powerpoint trips.
- When turning on a TV the RCD powerpoint trips.
Can anyone help?
