I bump this thread because I have similar problem & sharing the info might give benefit to others.
I made a research & I came across suggestion to use less sensitive RCCB. To use RCCB with "HI" type - i.e. High Immunity. So..I bought one from forumer here, brand HAGER. Installed in Nov 2014. As this year, no thunderstorm observed. Only 2 days back I considered very significant & can cause my RCCB to trip using the previous type. I can conclude it does it job very well, as designed to do so.  |

QUOTE(supersound @ Jun 14 2015, 12:36 PM) When you have your ELCB tripped, you need to start do some basic troubleshooting. Troubleshooting already done. Disconnect all electrical appliances & observe still tripping. So, no electrical appliance problem. Them call electrician to check. He verified all connection & safety protection, earth cable in good shape. He said in one area, not all house will trip at the same time. As electrician he observe similar case. Details explained to me but I don't understand.And not directly changing it to less sensitive type. What if you really have an appliance that having problem? |

QUOTE(Kiding @ Dec 26 2015, 12:18 AM) I'm interesting in this ABB OVR T2 SPD (http://new.abb.com/products/ABB2CTB802341R8000), planing to install it in the DB Mine also installed with SPD (installed 2015-09-19). Ever since, Only one time there is quite heavy lightning strike as reported by my wife but RCCB didn't trip.I'm wondering will it reduce the frequent RCCB trip when lighting hit nearby my house, I stay at the hill top, whenever lightning hit nearby, it is very high chance the RCCB will trip!  |

QUOTE(Kiding @ Jan 6 2016, 07:49 PM) How much you paid for the SPD devices and installation? I'm tired of the nuisance trip, it has been 3 times for last 30 days SPD Class 2 (for 3 phase) - RM477 incl. GST Installation RM150 - local electrician. This installation cost include SPD & auto Reset RCCB. |

QUOTE(clickNsnap @ May 13 2016, 11:40 PM) Hi, For electrician phone you can get from local shop which supply electrical part for contractor, not shop which selling electrical appliances. They do leave the business card number.Can please provide me the installer/electrician phone number and may I know where did you buy the SPD & auto Reset RCCB? Btw, my house uses 1 phase only. Thanks in advance!  For SPD & auto RCCB I bought from L.V Control Technologies SB. 03-80112999.
