If it can be demonstrated to the scientific community/press/public at large that "the RCD will trip or nary a tingle will be felt", then CBE's, MBE's, Knighthoods or perhaps a Nobel prize will be sure to follow!


This is surely the biggest step forward in Electrical safety since the invention of fuse wire!


In these bleak times the British public needs to hear good news like this.

    Given that 30mA is enough to kill you, I think "nary a tingle" is wishful thinking.  The standard European 30mA RCD is only intended to be quick enough to break the power before you're dead.


    The Americans seem to prefer a 10mA RCD on high-risk radial circuits.  But they would keep nuisance tripping on UK ring finals that cover half a house.
