Yes. It is a TN-C-S setup with PME. Interestingly the current without any load on the earth is 1.12mA. So can the electronics in the RCBO produce that sort of earth leakage? Or is something else causing that current? I need to measure the other currents and see. Might be easier with a clamp...

This is just something I'm doing in the garage, having a play with at the moment. It sort of has to do with household electrics. I've got a 13A plug connected to an RCBO (Pro Elec 16A), which in turn is connected to a 13A socket. I wanted to see what happens when you connect an indicator lamp...

Makes sense. Thanks!

In this case it isn't a CU, but hypothetically in a 100A CU, is the earth terminal bar rated to 100A?

This isn't technically home DIY but I think the answer should be the same. I have a power system with an incoming supply of 125A 3ph. This is split to several 16A sockets. Let's take 6 for example: I have 6x 16A sockets the are downstream of individual RCBOs which themselves are downstream of a...

Next question is: I want to have a light switch that works over wired ethernet. I don't know what to google, because obviously having the word "switch" in the search term brings up networking gear. Basically put: The light switch is operated. It sends a signal over cat5e to another...

Perfect. Cheers mate!

Bit of an odd one, but hopefully something you'll be able to help me with. I have a lovely switch a bit like this: click here. I want to control some security lights with my switch, however the wiring is not in place. Instead of ripping into the wall, how viable is a wireless relay...
