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.

    mmm yes they are fault devices , must be my reading of a fault , it just says current , which iI guess is why they are called residual current device , and are for fault protection , so yes voltage variation in itself does not operate them , however in fault voltage may no doubt be going somewhere else , which i believe (as its no longer in the line conductor) and this lack of voltage in the line conductore is what causes the trip . A voltage drop (I think therefore) would also cause a trip ??
