Smart meter tripping RCD anymore than anecdotal evidence?

Sparkingchip

With have heard reports of smart meters tripping RCDs, is there any more than anecdotal evidence?

    No need to look for further evidence: we know that older RCDs aren't guaranteed to meet EMC requirements of the current product standards.

    Having said that, BS 7671 (Regulation 444.4.1) says that sources of EMC disturbances (which would include transmitters for wireless connectivity) should be kept away from "victim" equipment.

    I wonder what the smart meter installation instructions say in this respect?
