RCD's

Just wondering how many other people are running medium sized (13kw) tesla 
coils from circuits protected by RCD's (Earth Leakage Detectors).

I have a 30mA RCD on the circuit dedicated to my coil. I am sure that this 
has saved me lots of money, as during initial testing, when ever there was 
a problem with tuning the RCD would instantly trip. Now however I am 
running at much higher power levels, and I am wishing there wasn't an RCD 
there. It seems to trip unexpectedly.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?
