[FONT=IIFPD I+ Gill Sans]RCDs for protecting people have a rated tripping current (sensitivity) of not more than 30 milliamps (mA). Remember: [/FONT]
* an RCD is a valuable safety device,
* if the RCD trips, it is a sign there is a fault. Check the system before using it again;
* if the RCD trips frequently and no fault can be found in the system, consult the manufacturer of the RCD;
* the RCD has a test button to check that its mechanism is free and functioning. Use this regularly.
Use of 110V or 230V Equipment and Supplies : Q/A .
For Many Years , the Use of 110V CTE , ( Centre Tap Earthed ) has been Encouraged in Harsh Environments such as Construction Sites , This was Largely a UK Initiative , but in the rest of Europe , Systems of Working with 230V have been Established . if Responsible Individuals decide to Stipulate that Reduced Voltage is to be Used it must be made Clear that the Requirement is Dependant on the Environment and is therefore a Site Decision , the Use of 110V CTE , and Other Low-Voltage Systems in the UK is NOT Compulsory Under the Law but has been Recognised as Good-Practice in Harsh Environments , Guidance on Reduced Low Voltage Systems and Extra Low Voltage Systems is Provided in BS-7671
