That was a quick response. Any experience with the AMEcal?buy the Megger.
If it's only for fault finding is the expense of calibration worth it any way?I doubt you'll be able to get the AMEcal calibrated by anyone.
Bit pointless having a tester of any sort that's way out of range...could lead you on a bit of a wild goose chase with false readings.If it's only for fault finding is the expense of calibration worth it any way?
Thanks.Bit pointless having a tester of any sort that's way out of range...could lead you on a bit of a wild goose chase with false readings.
Neither.
What about DC leakage currents?
Excuse my ignorance but if the OP want's it mainly for domestic fault finding then is there DC leakage current?
them that work and them that don't.What are the different types of RCD?
Yes that seems to be the trend at the moment.them that work and them that don't.
What are the different types of RCD?
I'm industrial mate. Where would DC RCD's be used in a domestic situation?
Just trying to learn stuff?
Type AC - General purpose use, RCD can detect & respond to AC sinusoidal wave only.
Type A - Equipment incorporating electronic components RCD can detect & respond as for type AC, PLUS pulsating DC components.
Type F - Equipment with frequency controlled speed drives RCD can detect & respons as for type A, PLUS high frequency residual current.
Type B - Electric vehicle chargers, PV supplies.
RCD can detect & respond for type F, PLUS smooth DC residual current.
the toilet. DC = Diabolical Crap.
Type AC - General purpose use, RCD can detect & respond to AC sinusoidal wave only.

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't think I shall encounter DC unless you can furthereducate me for domestic situations.
Regards,
Mike.
