    RCD / LED problem

    That's right. LEDs are on the walls and don't suppose to have anything to do with the Beds.

    RCD / LED problem

    It's costing me a lot cause the place is 100 miles away. Only agreed to do it because the owner is a friend of a friend. Big mistake.

    RCD / LED problem

    You are absolutely right about not giving a customer an option in this case. I will be there next week and try to get an earth leakage metre too. They are not cheap but seem very useful.

    RCD / LED problem

    I did want to fit separate RCDs for each bed and explained to the customer why. He wasn't happy with an extra cost.

    Don't have earth leakage clamp metre but might get one. RCD required by the customer, apparently something to do with insurance or council. RCD incomer feeds only the four sun beds. There are no other circuits in DB.

I installed the board (Hager 100A 30mA RCD as incomer, C32 MCBs )and isolators, tested the system and left. The sun beds installers team arrived this morning. After...
