Ha.
You try it.
You try it.
If your only points of contact are Live and Neutral then no current flows to earth. A dry carpet does not provide any path to earth.What about the current flowing through you to EARTH and not flowing through the Neutral?
I wasn't recommending it.Ha. You try it.
As I said, levitating.If your only points of contact are Live and Neutral then no current flows to earth.
Who said it was a dry carpet.A dry carpet does not provide any path to earth.
So, in normal day to day living -
when only a live line conductor is touched does a person feel anything and does an RCD operate?
If you have a modern consumer unit, how is it possible to still get a shock - what wiring faults can bypass the RCD protection? Can faulty appliances give you a shock even if you a have correctly installed circuit with a modern consumer unit? Cheers, S
Do I take it you think the answer to both is 'no'?Arrrgh, don't you start we have enough trouble with Mr (?) CockburnSo, in normal day to day living -
when only a live line conductor is touched does a person feel anything and does an RCD operate?
Yes, indeed - sorry 'bout that.No it won't. It will limit the time for which a current above a threshold level (e.g. 30 mA) can flow.2) An RCD will limit the current which can flow through you to earth
Possibly. Possibly not.So, in normal day to day living -

Only if you are levitating.However, as stated before, if we had touched live and neutral (rather than earth) then the RCCD would not have tripped as the in/out current would have balanced.
You, too, are thinking CPC rather than earth.
What about the current flowing through you to EARTH and not flowing through the Neutral?
I knew I piddled in the garden for some reason!!.....and wet the earth rod.....
Move away from that patch of carpet NOW.Shouldn't laff but PMSL here!!
Do it on the compost heap - it's good for it.I knew I piddled in the garden for some reason!!
Build some kind of platform over the compost heap, with steps up to it, so that they can help it along too.Oh yes, just remembered! 2 females in the house, no bathroom access!
