When one fault takes everything down

For anyone running a business or working from home in a rural hamlet like Wallcrouch, a trip that takes out the router, the computer and the freezer at once is more than an inconvenience. Many older consumer units have one RCD covering every circuit, or two RCDs sharing them, so a single faulty kettle can darken half the house.

A full RCBO board gives each circuit its own combined breaker and RCD, so only the faulty circuit switches off. An 8 way board costs £625, rising to £695 for 10 to 12 ways and £795 for 14 to 16 ways, and every size comes with a Type 2 surge protector.

  • Each circuit independently protected
  • Unaffected circuits stay on
  • Faults easy to pin down
  • Surge protection included

Finding the cause of trips

Tripping that nobody can explain

Some households live with a board that trips every few weeks for no obvious reason. Common causes include moisture in an outdoor socket or light, a failing immersion heater element, an old appliance with a leaking heating element, or small leakages from modern electronics adding up on a single RCD. The old board cannot tell you which, so the hunting goes on.

Before fitting a new board we test the insulation of every circuit, which often reveals the culprit straight away. Spreading circuits across RCBOs stops small leakages adding together, and if a trip does happen, the device that operated points straight to the problem circuit.

  • Insulation tested circuit by circuit
  • Leakage no longer adds up
  • Problem circuit obvious
  • Fewer unexplained trips

Because on most older consumer units, several circuits share a single RCD. When it detects leakage on any of them, it switches them all off together. That is the device doing its job, but it is a blunt arrangement. A full RCBO board gives every circuit its own protection, so a fault only affects the circuit it is on.

For most homes, we think so. Compare £625 for 8 ways of RCBO with £425 for 6 ways of dual RCD; at 10 ways it is £695 against £495. The difference buys independent protection for every circuit, which matters most when you work from home, run a freezer or have equipment that must stay on.

Often, yes. Insulation testing on each circuit narrows it down quickly, and if the fault comes from an appliance, unplugging and testing usually identifies it. Sometimes the cause is intermittent and only shows itself later, but on a new RCBO board the device that trips tells you exactly which circuit to look at.
