Hi, while testing the new board I installed I got to the live testing at the sockets one of the RCD's kept tripping during the loop test, the other ring tested fine so it's not the tester, the insulation tests where all good. Unfortunately I didn't have a residual current clamp meter with me, to...
Had a customer ask for RCD to be changed to Type A as he has had a company install a PV unit which they have left with the spur switched off as new regulations state that PV units must have a type A RCD 🤔. Has anybody else had this situation??
Does anyone have a scheme connecting RCD with UPEU, with details on how wires are connected on reglette and further on UPEU. Can someone explain how alarm is generate when RCD goes down, and where is RCD stationed in rack?
Here is the picture of ports on SLPU:
which should be connected to UPEU...
Evening all,
If a socket circuit is not RCD protected via an RCD/RCBO and there isn't the option of fitting an additional RCD enclosure or fitting RCBOs, is it permitted to add additional sockets to the circuit via RCD spurs or additional RCD socket outlets? (type A of course)...if the sockets...
Hi everyone, each leakage question here.
I am needing to run some LED screens, professional type, not TVs. These are 500mm x 500mm panels and traditionally have 2/3mA leakage per panel.
So we generally have a 63A three phase distro with a 300 mA on input and multiple outputs protected by 30 mA...
I need to replace a Hagar RCD (model number CN284U). This is a type AC RCD and I wish to replace it with a type A.
The model number for the Type A equivalent is CNA584U.
They are both 100mA, 100A, S type.
The only difference being is that the Type A RCD is referred to as 1P + N rather than...
Hi to all. Is there legal requirement for additional dedicated RCD even if we have Double RCD CU?
Our whirlpool bath has ambiguous instructions: first it saying that it has to have separate RCD outside. Then it says "IF separate RCD installed" like if there as an option not installing it.
We...
Best way to add RCD protection to specific circuits in an old Siemens DB which I’m told is now obsolete.
Install an additional enclosure adjacent to the DB to hold new RCBOs and feed these from the obsolete MCBs?
Any other ideas?
Hi,
I’d really appreciate some advice or suggestions as to what could be causing an ongoing issue I have with my RCD tripping.
My RCD trips when I turn my bathroom light off when the boiler is on. It’s worth noting it’s not exactly every time and sometimes when the light has been left on for a...
I was just about to book an EICR inspection for my property when the decorator said he didn't think the fuse board would pass. He said there was no RCD on the top board and partial on the bottom one. So rather than pay twice I was thinking of getting any potential work done first prior to the...
Greetings, I have a solar 5kw system installed with a hybrid inverter (no batteries yet). My electrician decided to add an extension board for the solar installation as my main CU couldn't fit all the required switch due to lack of space.
I have dual rcd consumer unit with no high integrity so...
I am a landlord and my managing estate agent just recently organised an electrician to carry out EICR. Came back as unsatisfactory, no RCD protection on: lights, smoke alarm, door bell and immersion heater. There is RCD protection on sockets and cooker. Electrician suggests changing the...
Have an existing old client with what's best described as a sprawling small-holding of a property.
There's an armoured external supply which branches into a submain for various sheds/workshops/stables (some of which are 150-200m) etc all of which have standard RCD final circuit protection and...
So as the title says can I use a mcb as the main switch. Basically to keep it short I’ve took a 25mm sub main to power an outbuilding. Mains coming in will be Henley blocked and new tails will go into enclosure with b63a mcb which then feeds 25mm swa to outhouse which contains its own c/u which...
Many years ago I fitted some RCD socket outlets to my parents home for the two likely to be used outside, the front hall and the kitchen one next to the window. Being the paranoid sort of person I am I always test-trip them when I have cause to use one, and in the case of the front hall that is...
We have to put two new tower sockets in to a office at work.
At the moment we have two towers but four sets of four desks.
The two sets of four without towers are fed via extension leads hence the need for two new towers.
I have been told by our tech guy we aren't fitting RCBO on the two new...
During an eicr i have discovered a 30 ma (RCD) Residual Current Device feeding a dual RCD consumer unit. The source rcd trips before either in the Consumer Unit .
i would remove the source rcd or replace with a type s but i cant be certain about buried cables in walls, at least some of it is in...
8.5K shower unit is wired to plastic box consumer unit to 30 amp cartridge fuse with no RCD
It’s the original shower installed when the house was built around 1995
The shower is still fully working after all these years, never blowing the cartridge fuse before
Am I right to presume RCD wasn’t...
