The only proper way to test an RCD is with an RCD tester, you should test the EFLI with a loop tester first tho.
Which part of gods county are you from?

South west at the foot of Blackcombe, where the sheep run scared

I'm going into hiding
You're about 3 miles away from me - if not closer

That is a bit scary, probably pass you in Wellington street without recognising you.

 

[Spark123]

Yep, on one of my few trips to hawkriggs

Thanks to you both. Spark123 , having read your link I now think I may be mistaken in thinking that it is the voltage operated type as we were still installing them long after 1981,

AFAICT, I think that article is wrong. The withdrawl date for VO-ELCB's from the regs was January 1985, so you may well have been installing them after 1981.

Thanks securespark ,but the other difference about the number of earth connections would indicate it is an rcd also as yet it still has not tripped again, so I have no idea why it was.I think I will put it on my round tuit list & get a new one in anticipation when I next order from screwfix.
