Hi,
I’ll soon be installing a new radial circuit to my utility room and need some advice from the experts regarding final testing, please.
The circuit will consist of 6mm T&E in surface trunking from the RCD (30mA 80A) side of my Wylex split-load CU, to feed 4 double sockets in the utility room, then terminating at a fifth double socket (MK Masterseal) on the outside of the house. Total length of the circuit will be about 14 m, and will be protected by a 32A MCB.
On completion I plan to test continuity and insulation resistance, but i'm not sure how to test the RCD. I've come across some RCD testers that measure trip times etc, but they are expensive kit, starting at about £200 I think. Are there any other ways to measure RCD performance?
Cheers for any help.
