Hi,How does everyone fill out the certs for a split load board to include the RCDS if issuing a DOMESTIC ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATE?
How do you include the details of the split loads and the submain RCD characteristics into the boxes provided?
Do you test RCD tripping times for each circuit even if its a main RCD?
Cheers
 
i put RCD1....30mA....trip time
then every circuit on the next lines down
then RCD2...30ma....trip time
then every circuit on that rcd

they have circuit numbers so all self explanatory when you look at the board
 
Test each RCD, at the RCD with all loads switched off via CBs.
Record results of tests repeatedly for relevant circuits connected to each one
 
RCD's should be tested at source with loads disconnected so 1 test per RCD.
 
Wow, fast response for this time of night,but that's just the answer I was looking for.Cheers guys.The evil spectre of self doubt was taking over again.Begone evil spectre!!!!
