Hi all,

So moved my pc and wife's pc to the same spot yesterday ,2 screen 2 pc's and a printer are only things plugged in.

In the wall it's a double plug,each plug has a multiplug plugged in(3 three point and one double point extension)

So plugged everything in and after 2mins plugs trip in the house,after finding the issue seems it's her screen only,even if i plug hers in by mine it trips it.So run a extension plug from the room next to us and plug the screen in and power does not trip?
Open the plug of the screen and rewire it again.Still the issue...

So each adapter has two plugs in them (so that's 2 plugs per wall socket) And a printer... Total of 5 things plugged into the wall..

Any idea what this could be?It worked just the night before on the plug across the room
 
Do you have access to another earth leakage? Switch them around and see if it fixes the problem. They go faulty after a while causing nuisance trips. It is the easiest and cheapest first troubleshooting step.

Did you try run both PCs off the extension cord? What happens?

Still the same,when that monitor is plugged in(even if its on stand by mode not even on ) it trips the earth leakage.plug out and run everything and all is good.

It's got a clover power plug ,so i don't have an extra cord to test.But see i have one at work to take home and test tonight.
