    Potential circuit faults - RCD/ Megger

    Hi folks, In your opinion, do you think there would ever be a situation where an RCD (presuming it worked) would not pick up a problem that a megger test would? i.e an RCD would trip if there was ever a L-E, N-E or L-N fault

    Intermittent faults...

    Intermittent faults are the spawn of the devil. Their mission on earth is to torment electricians and confuse apprentices. Just wanted to make that clear.

    Neutral to earth faults

    So since the advent of rcds, these have become more highlighted. This has been bugging me lately. In my mind the reason why neutral to earth faults are a problem is because the cpc has a smaller csa than the neutral Also if you lost the neutral at the supply then mains voltage would be...
