Just done a little kitchen rewire, onto the testing, minor works.
Dead tests are fine, all ok. Power on.
Tried to do ELI... main rcd trips. Check tester, set to no trip... strange. Screen comes up with “trip”
Tried rcd test. Again, trips with same message... doesn’t give me a ms reading. Tried on half I... still trips.
Tried ramp test. Same again.
Red all the tests directly off the rcd in the board with no MCBs connected
the rcd hatripped under fault condition when the joiner plugged in an extension lead he knows “can be dodgy”
So, thoughts?
Faulty rcd in board, or faulty tester?
btw, it’s an Ethos RCD loop combined tester.
Oh, and the kitchen fitter? His name is Kev. I thought they were just a myth.
