I have an issue with coding 'incorrect RCD type selected'.
1, is it now expected that all permanently connected equipment is assessed and MIs consulted to determine if the correct type of RCD has been used?
2, in general purpose circuits are we now to assess what DC leakage is likely?
3, are we expected to test DC leakage with the installation at full normal usage.
The selectively of RCDs is easy to spot and is most likely to be no more than a C3.
As far as installations this is all easily covered in the design and the correct RCD type can be selected but when it comes to EICRs how does it work in practice?
