Gents, tested a pub split load db today in the sticks.
before i commence any work,
am i right in stating anything over 0.1 on the 100mA side is a fail? did a test on the man 100mA and its disconnecting in 0.25
I've tested the sockets on the 30mA side and they are disconnecting correctly.
Pubs a doghole has had 20% done by someone jan 2015, ive already preempted the retailer stating not sure how obvious items (flexes draped up the garden for outside lights) haven't been picked up.
 
It needs to comply with the disconnection times in section 41.

The recommendation is that at 100% of the rated tripping current it should open in <300ms and if an S type <500ms
