Got sent this, RCD Failed x1 greater than 300ms maybe if they changed the supply at top of RCD, currently have neutral on the left and line in the right , also the RCD is fed from 63Amp MCB is that all good just feeding an RCBO 30ma board

It doesn’t like being in beside an ABB. and I’m guessing the one on the left isn’t an MK either
 
Hi - does it trip on the test button or when ramped?
Just FYI, Table 3A has the range of values for 100mA RCDs (and others), non-delayed up to 300ms and S up to 500ms.
 
Who sent you the picture? What was the reason for their visit?
 
Hi guys, my mate sent me it and it’s an upfront RCD for DB in a farm yard (TT) he went through how he tested it as he has brand new tester (Martindale) a similar version to mine and he didn’t flick through the settings and put S which is time delayed, hence why it was saying failed X1 eventually tripped at 310ms so all good
