Hello good people, am reviving an old thread.

We've had this for 15 years. Whenever there's lightning, even in the far distance (a thunder as loud as a silent fart), a trip can happen. Can't quite remember anymore if this has been happening since the very beginning or if it's gradual. One thing that's for sure is I'm pretty tired of it.

So if we do have wiring leakage, by changing 'technologies' (some modern RCD?) will it help? Or irregardless of what circuit breaker we use, is it advisable to fix leaks anyway? My imagination tells me that trying to figure out where leaks are is no sane task.

What's the current contemporary recommended ELCB/ELCB-like device?
