Interesting to hear. Spent years working for a national camping organisation and experienced numerous chint failures. Even my local YESSS says nobody buys the stuff up here. Wheterh on here or Twitter reports of failed BG products are daily occurrences. I guess if you're near a screwed fix its easy enough to get replacements?

I have had one in my lifetime, was doing an EICR and it blew up in my face when i pressed the test button... (there was evidence of water damage so i cannot blame poor quality)

I had an RCD spur do that, quite alarming !!
