First and foremost. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a plug socket or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main breaker at the panel and call emergency services. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a cable or mechanism is overheating to the point of melting its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts the power and allows time for a technician to arrive without further damage.

If the RCD is constantly tripping, you have an earth leakage somewhere in the installation. Do not try to reset it more than three consecutive times. Each attempt puts extra strain on the components. Locate the suspicious appliance by disconnecting them one by one, and if you can't find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be caused by a faulty appliance, moisture in a mechanism box, or degraded cable.
