The RCD in the house will trip before the one in the socket due to the accumulated earth leakage on the installation biasing the house RCD to trip first.
The test button on the RCD only tests the mechanical operation of the RCD, it does not confirm that it will disconnect in the correct time.
How do you know that your cable is better than a standard extension cable? all of our standard extension cables are made from HO7-RNF flex which is a hell of a lot tougher than any arctic!
And are you sure it is true arctic cable and not just blue coloured PVC flex? A few years ago manufacturers started selling a lot of blue PVC flex as being arctic grade when it is not, this is one of the reasons arctic is no longer allowed for extension leads in temporary power.
Clearly I am wrong, stupid and apparently insanely dangerous, and I apologise for riling everyone up over this matter.
If I can explain myself again and then someone clearly point out to me the error of my ways I would really appreciate it.
I didnt think I was that dumb and I am still struggling with this a bit. I feel I have explained myself to be a bit blaze, when thats not really how I meant it.
OK, lets say I wanted to hoover my car, trim the hedge, edge the lawn, mow etc with some form of electrical appliance. Rather than using a standard extension cable on a reel (like you get from a local diy store) without any RCD device on it. I have made a cable out of arctic blue 2.5mm (which it definitely is)both ends are ferruled. one end is a plug, the other end is IP65 enclosure with wrcdssk2 socket (this end housed in polytunnel to keep out of the weather) and i basically plug it in when I need to use it and its plugged into a fitted internal RCD socket (not fitted by me).
What is the difference between what I am doing/done and using an extension reel? or are both a stupid idea?
The reason I said about the RCD test not being necessary is because you can buy non rcd outdoor rated sockets in the IP65 housing. Is this allowed to be sold like this?
If this is such bad practice why the hell I am able to easily get the parts etc?
Surely you can see how I have got into this situation. And I am asking nicely for someone to explain it too me. If I am as close to death as you say, its not too much to ask is it?
