Hello everyone,
I bought a submersible pump (model 30136). When switched on, a residual current circuit breaker always trips. I complained to the manufacturer and received a new one. The new one has the same effect.
Now I thought it might be my power supply/wiring. I checked again and could not find any error.
Then I got another pump (from a different manufacturer) with almost the same power (900W instead of 950W). This one works perfectly.

Could it be a series defect of the pump (manufacturer)?
Does anyone have a tip for me?
THANK YOU all.

You have already given yourself the tip. Try other manufacturers.

I just wonder, why do you protect a submersible pump with an RCD?

Well, the outdoor socket will surely be protected by an RCD...

FI LS installed and starting current of the pump too high? Try hanging one or two cable reels between the socket and the pump and try again. I can't imagine a serial defect. It has consistently good reviews.
