Rcd Tripping

[T Smith]

A main RCD is tripping when an appliance is unplugged from a ciruit. It is not one cicuit but any circiut it portects.

Could it be a faulty RCd ?

Any ideas?

Pay attention to what happens just before the trip goes. eg If the turning the washing machine, kettle, iron, and oven all on at the same time, it might be an overload. if the trip only goes when one item is used, it might be faulty. If it's entirely random, it may well be the trip itself.
