Short circuit in the kitchen when excessive steam is generated through cooking

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.13 PM

Often when their is excessive cooking and therfore alot of steam in the kitchen despite keeping the windows open, we experiance a short circuit on the ground floor sockets. The RCD trips and only after few hours do the ground floor sockets start to work again? Is the cause condensation and therefore water droplets that may enter the sockets from the litchen tiles etc or is there a deeper problem that i'm over looking? What is the best thing to do if we experiance this again? Thx Ash
