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.

    The RCD is undoubtably one of the real biggest saftey improvements the electrical buisness has come up with , but sensative to every tingles , I dont think will work , in part because at the moment the national grid , is living with the reality of 40% (at times) of electricty generation comming from arrays of turbines that may vary output , and this causes /can cause variations in quality of supply , and the thought of main RCDs tripping out on voltage variations strikes me as being a lot more common if you have the wrong sort of sensativty in RCDs , certainly into the future of electricty generation at the moment.


    Why would an RCD trip on a voltage variation?  There's nothing in them that measures the voltage.
