 Electrickery woes - zippy
I swapped out the old range cooker with our single oven cooker.

The main trip on the RCD box still trips when the oven is turned on.

This is despite the sparky saying nothing is wrong with the wiring. It’s just limited to 32 amps.

Would a draw over 32 amps cause the main switch to trip and not the trip for the actual circuit?

I would have expected a fuse to go or is the switch flipping the modern equivalent?

Also I had a gas safe plumber disconnect the old range cooker only to come home to the place reeking of gas. It was a bayonet type gas connection and he clearly didn’t check the seal properly.

The emergency gas man was rather annoyed.
