Folks,
Moved a cooker outlet on a job last week but when testing the socket on the cooker switch the Zs trips the RCD. Tested the RCD and it trips on 1/2.....0 and 180. Zs on a RFC socket also tripped the RCD. Customer says that the RCDs trip quite frequently.
There's a second CU....tried...
Hi all,
Just a heads-up really - Sibert are now pleased to be able to represent Doepke products so if you have any requirements for Type A or Type B RCDs, garage CUs or MCBs etc then we can now support your requirements.

I have just read the document produced by SMA on the subject of type B RCDs with their TL inverters. Section 4 states: "All SMA inverters with transformer and all transformerless SMA inverters mentioned in the following are not capable of feeding DC residual currents to the grid due to the...
I have recently had problems with 3 different RCDs but the problem with each was similar. I was called out to sort trip trouble on an RCD (30mA) in a house, client claming that a chainsaw (class 2) kept triping RCD, however no fault was found. Also the RCD pased all normal tests (trip times and...

Hi Looking at a minor works job in a flat, board which isn't split has a BS4293 RCCB as a main switch fed from an Earth leakage trip. I know both are obsolete and the SSC for the RCCB is 1500A. Am I right saying I can't just remove the earth leakage trip and replace the RCCB with a BS61008 as...

Help needed please!
RCD supplying three ring final circuits. Everything unpluged, turned off etc. Reset all MCB's and RCD. Then, on any of the circuits apply a load (different loads, kettle, tv etc) and the RCD trips?
This is an existing install working fine untill now. I'm thinking the RCD...

After a thread last week Telectrix posted a link to an Ebay site for an Alphatec TEK 633. and I have since bought one, just got it and I must say It looks the...

I am not an electrician but would nevertheless understand what the normal procedure is to test earth leakage / isolate an earth leakage problem.
One way is to switch all the switches off at the main DB board, switch them on one by one and see which one triggers the earth leakage circuit...
Hoping some one can help me as the NIC helpline admitted they couldnt!

Changed a CU about a month ago to a dual RCD but it keeps having intermittent tripping on the 2nd RCD, before changing it i did a full test and all IR was very good @ >999Mohm range no faults found.
I tested the leakage with my clamp meter and recorded a value of 34mA at the incoming tails...
