Testing 300mA RCD with Megger 1552

[Chris1234]

Hi, am I right in thinking that a Megger 1552 can’t test RCD’s at more than 1000mA?
Therefore a 5x test on s 300mA RCD can’t happen?

5x only required for RCDs providing additional protection. So you only need to test at 1/2x and 1x.

there is no requirement to test a 300mA RCD at x5.

Ok, thanks.

There’s also the safety aspect of not sending 1.5A down to earth.
