And what do we use then?
I said "many", not all, and I stand by that.
Having started out in industry, and worked in it for about 15 years, I've lost count of the number of electricians who either didn't bother taking test gear home because "It'll be alright", couldn't take gear home because they weren't allowed to, or simply did installs without ever testing. I'd put money on the fact that not many industrial sparks have access to an RCD tester.
This is not a criticism of anyone, just my experience in several large, high profile Companies.
I have a picture somewher of a crabtree starbreaker with all 50A MCBS in it, with no RCDS.
This is a good idea as it stops mcbs tripping due to overload and you wont have any problems with those pesky rcd thingies!

People will start to get bored of me soon!
So im changing my CU in a few days and im just about to buy all the materials.. just need a little help with direction
Ive already got an 18 way crabtree starbreaker, just need to fill it up and need some help with amp rating and protection
Firstly, i need two rcd's for the split load configuration.. im just a bit confused as to which ones i need..
Whats the difference between the crabtree rcd's that take up 2 spaces on the CU, compared to the one that takes up 3? hmm..
Also what ampage do i need to go for, 63a or 80a?
And is an 8kw shower ok on a 40a MCB?
thanks for the help guys
Not a rebuke Guitarist, but we were using RCD testers when i was training, at my company. Those early units were pretty basic too, compared with modern RCD test kits/MFT's....
My experience would be that, industrial electricians working for recognised large companies will be well versed in just about all the current test kit you would find in a larger domestic installer/contractors kit. They would also be more than conversant with far more specialised electrical test kit, that the general run of the mill domestic electrician wouldn't of even heard of, let alone know how to use it....
Everything is relevant to the times we now live in though i suppose, so things may have changed beyond all my recollection. A real shame if it has!!....
