Does it work ok not tripping RCDs when loop testing? Does it test RCDs ok?

Looking at buying one and needed some advice please???

Use Alphatek, but not that one. You're better off with 61557. Around 400 quid? Does more, you see.

It works fine, but you have to remember that to correctly test an RCD, you must test it in isolation, ie disconnected from the outgoing circuits.

You can test them from a light point or socket etc., but there is a risk of getting a bad reading which would fail an RCD which is healthy.

Also, ramp tests can be misleading because stuff in circuit is dragging the figure down.
