Why are RCDs so massively over-expensive?

[nicebutdim]

Here's something to cheer everyone up.....

Electricians in and around London are taking £96 per hour at the moment...mostly installing EV points....

....listen to 23:41 onwards for the £96 per hour statement

The earnings of one electrician (in Cambridge), who aims at a particular type of client, are unlikely to be representative of the average electrician in and around London.

That will likely be £80+vat

could you not have a hammer on a magnetic pendulum that an imbalance will cause the pendulum to deflect and the hammerhead hit a OFF button? cheap as chips.

Alexa wired up to the rcd

"Alexa I'm getting a shock it's gone up to 30ma please trip me "

I remember a video where he mentioned the sort of wages he pays electricians - it was certainly a decent sum, but obviously nowhere near the hourly rate billed by the company.

thanks, you mean in BS7671?...we dont have that standard, we cant afford them.
Also, If it works, why cant it be fitted in any equipment?

Has to be a wind up

We can't afford not to have standards.
Which is why you should give up now!

To be fair, I don't think he's serious.
