13A 2-Gang RCD Switched Plug Socket Metal-Clad, connected in the garage as part of the MCB managed plugs. Think they are a spur rather than a ring.
this morning, I finally did the very thing I had had the sockets installed to protect against
Should the 13A fuse in the mower plug have blown? (guess it's the first point of call)
The RCD tripped? (that much I was expecting)
AND the 10A MCB tripped? (that surprised me as it was before the RCD in the circuit)
am I wrong in assuming the the RCD would be the only thing to trip when you cut a live cable?
(its not something I've tried to do before) or is it the way the circuit fails that causes the various protections to ALL do their thing?
end of the day it saved me from death-by-worlds-smallest-mower
