So it's either live or neutral leakages that causes this tripping during thunderstorm? Can a knowledgeable electrician easily trace this?

There is no leakage per se, if there is a leakage said RCD alr tripped. whistling.gif

Sometimes its due to RCD from the 90s
a) aging >30 years tolerance all lari and/or
b) no "anti nuisance trip" filter technology

Replacing a 90s' RCD to a current model ABB solved nuisance trips for me.


ABB or Hager 30mA RCDs are the best you can get (easily) in MY market.
