RCD Test Result Query

[oharaf]

Today I was testing the tripping times for RCBO's

on 2 of the RCBO's the same times (27.7ms) occured on x1 and x5!

Checked several times and got the same results.

Used my spare meter and the same thing occured.

Can anyone explain or offere a reason

were the rcbo's tested in isolation?

there may have been a leak on them to start with, making the 1x more like 1.5x...?

Cheers mate

Was it a wylex RCBO per chance?

Hi Rob, thought you might see this one.

Unfortunately not, it was supplied by Denmans, I think it is from their range, Contactor i think they are called
