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?

    The Type A 100 A 100 mA S-Type time delayed RCDs are on back order, I just spoke to the wholesaler and hopefully I will have them by the end of the week.

    So I ended up fitting a temporary upfront RCD using what was in the back of the van, but the 300 mA doesn’t afford discrimination so is not suitable in the long term. I might swap it for a Type AC 100 A 100 mA S-Type time delayed RCD in the meantime, because there’s no guaranteed delivery date for the Type A.

    Unfortunately lack of availability of materials means we cannot actually do the job we want to do at the moment. However I am going to have to another go at clearing faults in the morning.

    Fortunately this job is only a couple of streets away from home, if it had been a long way away I wouldn’t have got involved in the first place.
