Hello all,
I'd be grateful for advice or opinions about this.
My underground garage has an electric door opener.
Every time power goes off it trips its RCD & I have to get out the ladder, open the door manually & reset the RCD which is on the ceiling of the garage.
Can I safely replace the nonlatching RCD with a latching RCD ?
If I can then I should just have to wait until power is restored to regain control over the door
My consumer unit is also in the garage It has an MCB protected circuit that supplies one DSSO about a metre below it which then has a fused spur wired to the waterproof RCD on the garage roof.
If it is safe to use a latching RCD then I won't have to manually open the garage & reset the door opener RCD to regain control of my garage door (which the non latching one forces me to do & is a pita)
There are no other active circuits in the garage, & nothing is plugged into the DSSO either
Thanks for your help: effsweet
