    RCD TRIPPING after hoover gets plugged in

    Yep, but its DC which is injected which will be equal to 1.4 times AC as AC has a full wave Peak,0,-Peak... so dependant on your kit at 1 times say 30Ma you will be getting 42 mA at the rcd and the limiting factor is the solenoid/relay.. how long will that take to fire... less than 40mS...once...

    RCD TRIPPING after hoover gets plugged in

    No, if the second is connected somehow... joined on same N bar then, or there is a shared neutral out on the circuits, lighting for example. As for the RCD operating time and the difference they will always vary in their response time, no two identical units will work at the same speed, brand...

    RCD TRIPPING after hoover gets plugged in

    Its tripping or to be more precise its in to process of tripping once that process starts ie is over the 30mA required then its not stopping, the variation is down to the manufacturing tolerance of the RCD trigger, ie the solenoid and components, after all its near instant disconnection not...

    As i pointed out to you John.. we have an ageing network, just how old are most connections, mine is date stamped 1961 and until we put in an EV charger the service fuse had never been changed.....Regulations take account of reality not electrical theory.

    Rules on Max Length Of Meter Tails Regulations regarding the maximum length of meter tails can vary and are often specified by the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) rather than following the standards outlined in BS7671. It’s essential to be aware of these DNO-specific requirements, as they...

    Oh by the way, its the DNO that has made the assumption on meter tail length and the IET has written is regulation with regard to their instruction. They made it for a variety of reasons apparently, ageing service heads, non reliance on the correct fuse in the service head being fitted which...

    As I keep pointing out we do not know what assumptions they made or who asked them to make use of an assumption they provided. Or if they made a mistake....reverse engineering it is not cool.

Does 4m at 100 amps max cross a line somewhere where 2m does not in terms of bends, are they taking it that 2m has limited bend potential... They could be taking it that a cable greater than...
