no....
due to your own incompetance...
so just who told you to handle any 2 phases simultaneously?
come on...this is pis poor practice...
'Additional protection', better with than without
And a surprising amount of faulty RCDs seem to be down to a lack of routine testing. I've read a few cases of RCDs failing on RCD testing then functionally perfectly well after it has been manually tripped and reset
it states quite clearly that if the manual test (test button) fails first time round...then its a fail....If the RCD fails on manual test, it fails test.
It must not be put back into service, how can you tell that it will not fail again, it has failed once, once is enough to kill someone.
OK..Hahahahaahaaa...FULL story, please!!! :smilielol5:
On here will be absolutely fine. :21:
like i says...Glad to see your putting the practise in for you your new role as a moderator it is coming on a treat Glenn:computer:
One thing that was impressed upon me during my training is that although there is an accepted resistance for the human body, this can vary dramatically from person to person, obviously changing shock risks at different levels. An older person with a weaker heart for example can be more susceptible to fibrilation at lower amperage levels.
Hence the effectiveness of a 30mA RCD depends on the situation.
OK..
what happened was i was stood on a wheely bin to change an outside light..all because the dummy i was working for had left the ladders on another job...
first time it was OK...
then i had to go get something...
got back on the wheely bin and was just running the screws in when it went from under me..
now we all know that wheely bins are not that high but it was the way i fell...
shattered my ankle (both sides)..
i have metal plates on each side and some of the screws fixing it ar 50mm long...
theres something like 12 screws in each side...
all back to normal now but i was off for 8 weeks....
i`m lucky to be walking at all really...and when its damp weather it sometimes plays up...
