    4 pole RCD

    Hi chaps Having quite a heated discussion with a colleague about a 4 pole RCD. He originally installed a 30mA RCD which now needs to be changed to a 100mA, however the N is on the opposite side. He seems to think that putting L1 into N of the RCD, L2 into L1, L3 into L2 and Neutral into L3...

    Faulty RCCB on old TT system

    I have a problem to sort out - it is a TT system with a faulty 80A 10mA RCCB after the meter and before the consumer unit. The board is very old style MCBs with no RCDs present. The customer called me up because until about 6 weeks ago the front garden lights were causing the RCCB to trip. I...

    Anyone interested in Pirate Parties?

    Hey, so there have been so many discussions about the Pirate parties in Northern Europe - they mostly say they represent the interests of internet users. E.g. they are for the free use of internet and very popular in Germany at the moment. What do you guys think of them?

    RCD help

    Anyone know which makes/brands, if any, have the test button wired between L1 - L2 instead of L1 - N? I'm looking for a four pole RCD to protect a TP circuit without a neutral and still have a functioning test button.

    The "Thanks" button

    Just had a thanks (very rare, like hens teeth!) and i got to thinking, unless you go back over your posts you never see who thanked you (unlike the "like" button). Have i just missed where to look or can you not look up who has thanked you?

    The "Like" button

    Hi Guys Don't know if this has been talked about before, so apologies if it has. Was wondering if it was possible to have more than just a "like" button as sometimes it just does not seem to do justice to some of the comments. Could we have a "Brilliant" button? Or maybe a "Laughed out loud"...

    industrial roller shutter door.

    A friend of mine has a 3phase roller door. Under normal circumstances you press the up button and it opens and continues to go up untill the limiter switch kicks in. When it comes down you have to press and hold the down button. I guess this is for safety reasons. The up button has stopped...
