    RCD requires a little rest before resetting

    Doing standard tests prior to some minor works on a socket circuit (Zs, IR etc), pressed the test button on the RCD, tripped fine, got ready to measure trip times but the RCD would not reset.

    Installing new circuits but RCD failure !

    Hi ! I have installed 2 new circuits to a fuseboard (lighting + ring main) for an extension and upon testing have discovered that both the RCD's on the split load board have failed. Can you still issue a cert with these failures noted or do you have to get them sorted before a cert is issued?
