    Why is split RCD not appropriate for TT?

    OSG Pg.40 says: '[Split CU with 2x RCCBs] is not suitable for an installation forming part of a TT system as there is insufficient fault protection of the single-insulated conductors that connect the load side of the double-pole main switch to the supply-side of the RCCB's.' Why is there...

    RCCB tripping randomly

    At my home there's a RCCB that keeps randomly tripping, ranging from once every month, to two times in a week. We couldn't identify any pattern. The only thing that seems to be related, is that it seems to happen more frequently after setting up the microwave clock, but it's not an immediate...
