I am staying down in sydney for a few month for work and the company has rented a brand new town house.

On about 10 occasions now the saftey switch has tripped and cut the power when appliances have been turned on at the wall or when the lights have been switched on.

What causing this? I tried getting the property manager to send out a sparky but he said it's due the appliances we are plugging in.

All the appliances have been test and tagged rencently and are only small things like laptop charges, and it's also happened when I have switched certain lights on but doesn't happen every time.

Any ideas? None of the sparkys at work could be bothered thinking about what could be causing it.
