presume its the rccb switch tripping ?   

could be a nuisance to troubleshoot  ...  first id check for anything obvious ... dampness on switches  , leaks ,  try running each vac , switch , pump separately to try and isolate ..

Last time mine did that it was the vac brushes arcing. Worth a look may be a cheap fix  :)
