When I was in infant school, he would be the one standing in the corner with the hat on.I did ask him to explain and I did mention about the line and neutral being right. I explained about KMFs etc for the very reason about the fuse terminals being live.
But he was so insistent that it was wrong and should be bottom in top out that I actually started to doubt myself hence running a sanity check on here. I normally have a couple on the van but didn’t have one to show him.

It shouldn't have worked - should have tripped under any load as the sense coil would read the sum of the currents rather than the difference.Came across a stand alone RCD once that had been wired N - S on one pole and S - N on the other. Still worked perfectly as an RCD, of course ...
You could well be right. It was back in the day when RCDs were still pretty much a novelty and this one had been added in front of an old MEM rewireable fuse board. I only got as far as testing it by the inbuilt button, which it failed and then started emitting smoke (which was when I realised how it had been connected.)It shouldn't have worked - should have tripped under any load as the sense coil would read the sum of the currents rather than the difference.
Is it much slimmer than wylex RECSW2S?I really like the Hager VC02SW REC isolators
The cover can be rotated to allow the supply at either side
They are also slimmer than others on the market, as well as having terminals that tighten to 3.6 Nm and cord clamps for the meter tails
All in a decent bit or kit.
REC2S 150mm 63mm 79mm (H W D)Is it much slimmer than wylex RECSW2S?
I like the twin screws provided by wylex and wonder if Hager provide the same?
Edit: Can't find info on terminals, but note that it's 15mm narrower than the slim wylex enclosure. Seems a touch expensive, but smaller profile would be invaluable in many homes where incoming supply is afforded a ridiculously small
amount of space.
