Rcd testing

[Iona222]

Is a shower rcd, arranged ro the side of the ccu. What the correct procedure.

I'm earth on earth bar, neutral on bottom left on rcd, and live on top mcb. The rcd is just tripping once, says trip on the megger.

Should I do it inside the shower?

but don't run the shower at the same time. ??

 

[telectrix]

you should test the RCD at the RCD itself, with load disconnected

You need to test the outgoing line and the outgoing neutral, with the earth on the earth bar.
The way you describe it, it would seem that you are testing the outgoing neutral and the incoming live. No wonder it trips.
What make of board is it?
Is this a split load board?
Maybe a pic would help...

Blimey…

you could drive a bus into the cable entry on the isolater switch

Well there’s a pointless shower isolator.

yes bottom neutral of rcd and bottom line, which is also bottom of mcb via busbar. Mcb off. Earth on earth

what tester are you using, and what setting?
It shouldnt trip at 1/2 x I
It should at x1 and x5
30mA setting?

That's because someone with only three fingers did it.
