Hey guys i have a question.
A 63A 30ma RCD main switch protecting a 20 metre run of FP200 16A mcb in a 2 way ccu.
Would you expect the RCD test results to be the same at source as you would at the end of line of the FP200?
My NIC qualified electrical supervisor basically says that he takes his reading at E.O.L and then writes his readings down on page 3 for 1x and 5x for that circuit.
He then writes the same value in the 1x for the 63A RCD main switch on page 2.
He says that the RCD will trip at the same time regardless of the circuits length or characteristics.
Is this true?
Surely its the circuit that will determine the trip time not the RCD.
This guy is starting to annoy me with many aspects of testing and form filling but as he signs off my test sheets should i just acquiesce or kick his head in (joke)
I am 2391 and 17th JIB approved but until recently i was 100% industrial and commercial and have never seen test sheets like these before and i am finding many discrepencies from what i am used to.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply in advance.
