Hi, I'm a new DIY member hoping to get some suggestions on a (to me) perplexing problem with my basement overhead lights. There were originally 4 of them, and through the years, I've added 4 more by running cable from the existing fixtures. They are all controlled by three 3-way switches which...

Have been to a farm today that has a 100mA time delayed RCD main switch covering a DB that has MCB’s on majority of circuits ( less than 32A) and 30mA RCBO’s on sockets, lighting etc.

My guys were testing a 500ma time delayed RCD today with our Fluke tester, can’t remember the model, 1556???
I had a go and couldn’t get it to trip either. The tester was set to time delayed setting, 500mA, did the 30s countdown but didn’t trip. Am I doing something wrong?? And yes I was...
I asked my wholesaler for one today only to be told they're discontinued. A quick google of MK 6400s seems to confirm this. Does anyone know why this is and if Mk are producing a new version for some reason?

Could someone who uses this software tell me what the Rated Time Delay box is for when filling out the Main switch/ Switch-Fuse/ Circuit-breaker/ RCD section of an EIC?
Is it for the recommend range in which a time delayed rcd should trip 130 - 500ms... or is it something else?

I have been asked to install a time-delay switch for the car park lighting at our village hall.
At present there is a single (2-pole) switch inside the building which controls the outside (bollard lights). However, when closing up the building on dark nights, once the bollard lights have been...
Hi all, just wondering if anyone with a lot of experience had any thoughts on this;
I've seen on farms that are usually tt earthed the mains come in and through an s type time delay rcd and then sub mains go to different buildings which are protected by standard 30ma rcds. Sometimes faults in...

I'll eat my hat if this ever gets going!!!! The coalition legacy will be more nuclear and some vague promise of carbon capture - everything else will have been binned!
