Discuss strange fault in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net

Tested again, same 'good results'...so changed board to wylex. Problem fixed!

Another ...kin 6 hours testing retesting, scratching head, but some relief at last...beware of protek rcbos
Thanks for the update, been thinking bout this fault lots, thank god its fixed
 
just come to light tonight...
A year or so ago there was a 'bad batch' of protec rcd's/rcbo's.
Anyhow the manager of the wholesaler (small independant shop) vowed never to stock protec ever again, sick of callouts and exchanging cu's for contractors who had bought.

The supplier gave assurances the problem was fixed, so he bought in again at a very cheap price...sweetener. All has been well apparently for the past 12 months or so. Until now!
