Hello All,
I would like some help with an RCD 'tripping' problem please.
No apparent pattern to when it trips, but has been tripping since new split load c/u was fitted @3-4yrs ago.
(Home has 4-5 fridge/freezers and quite a lot of pc equip ! I am thinking earth leakage).
The RCD tripping 'times' are all ok, and seem quite normal. However, the meter I used has a ramp test function, and I found the 30mA RCD was tripping at 15-18mA.
I thought this to be a bit low, so I replaced the RCD and now I am getting a reading of @21mA.
What sort of figure would you expect to get from the tests ??? I thought @27mA
(I still think its a dodgy fidge/freezer )
Thanks in advance for any help or abuse
