Hi All

Just sat contemplating life and realised i don't think i've ever seen any RCD protection on the boards we maintain/install at work.
I've seen 300mA protection on some section boards but don't recall ever clocking a 30mA in a 3 phase board.
Am i just not looking properly?

I went along this morning to quote for an EVCP install.
I thought it was a domestic house but it was a B@B. It has a 3 phase supply. I always pass on commercial or 3 phase as it is outside of my remit. However, I am toying with the idea of fitting this EVCP IF I can fit it from a single phase...

I've been watching Residual Current on youtube (great vids and great bloke btw) and really love watching the more industrial/commercial side of things.
Are there any resources that teach how 3 phase works? Even college syllabuses seem to be very light on 3 phase stuff.
How do people learn this...
Hello everyone, I really hope this isn't an idiot question but boy, I'm out of my depth! I've spent about 3 weeks (not solid mind) trying to work out how to size a generator to power a lathe for a test.

Regarding 3 phase IR tests for initial verification, I'm wondering how people actually do it efficiently.
GN3 says to IR test between all phase permutations, then:
L1+L2+L3 connected together to N
L1+L2+L3 connected together to E
N to E
The OSG further comments that if the group test to earth...
