An rcd is designed to protect against the risks of electrocution and fire caused by earth faults. Reset or turn the rcd back on if it trips with the cbs turned off then there is either a wiring fault or the rcd is faulty you will need to call a licenced electrician. The green button is a reset switch that restores the rcd to normal operation after a test or a real cut out.
The residual current device or rcd is one of the most important electrical safety devices in both the home and commercial environments.
