The electrics have been playing funny for a few months. The RCD is tripping the whole house when I use my Laser…I have been trying to understand what is the source of the problem exactly but simply cannot source a consistent behaviour of fault.
It trips “mostly” when I am in my garage using my Laser…
So the whole family thinks it is the Laser which is faulty.
I am not sure, … actually, I am “often” in the garage. I am often using the laser. It has tripped even when I was not using the Laser or even being in the garage…
I think the Laser takes the RCD over its maximum and makes it trip.
I think the water pump of the pond is a more likely source of the problem as well as the electrics of the plugs for the pond.
So I have decided to replace the whole system. Replace the pump and new outside electric box, I am using a smart electric box with relays and a computer tracker which keeps an eye on the pump for its electric consumption and can sound an alarm in case the pump gets to work too hard.
It was a pain to do…
One day I will connect it all using a Raspberry Pi to track consumption and monitor temperatures etc…I have a Pi already setup in the conservatory “taking pictures” daily and sending them to my email.
