I never inferred that about you. This OP seems to get a lot of grief and I felt he was about to get a load more when he just wanted some help. I guess I was wrong.I don't know what all the fuss is about, i once spent and age trying to find out why an RCD wouldn't trip, i was testing on the supply side, took a while for the penny to drop, and not before i had stripped the bloody thing out before i realised what i had done.
So maybe i am a waste of space after all! :dunce2:
Howard you have over 720 Thanks from us members here, your no waste of time M8, there are numties here though, and shhh, Don't tell anyone but there may be one in this thread hehe, I said maybe lolI don't know what all the fuss is about, i once spent and age trying to find out why an RCD wouldn't trip, i was testing on the supply side, took a while for the penny to drop, and not before i had stripped the bloody thing out before i realised what i had done.

Go on then old sage, enlighten meKeep going kid, the hole you're digging is getting deeper.
I'm completely at a loss to understand what you're saying here. A bit back you're backing his method when it was pointed out (calmly and respectfully) that he was carrying out the test wrongly now you appear to be backing up what I said but only to get "a dead accurate reading"Yes, I would for a dead accurate reading of device not affected by earth leakage out on the circuit.
I get the little 'tick' on the MFT and then it just wont test.
Is he not just trying to confirm if unit is faulty. Probably only a got a bathroom light and a fan on load of this unit. He done I/R and ZS and said it was good. Why disconnect load in this case? just more for him to do? That was where I was coming from.I'm completely at a loss to understand what you're saying here.

Why would you not want a dead accurate reading?
does this mean you carried out a Zs?Continuity of CPC was proved.
That is a very good idea Spark68 and I should have done that.
Would you not test the circuit as well Trev? When you test an RCD in a CU you test that on the circuit somewhere, generally a socket?

and if so have you disturbed anything sinse then....but before attempting RCD testing?
I see what you're getting at but it's the correct way to carry out the test. Forgive my ---- retentivenessWhy disconnect load in this case? just more for him to do?
