WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

John Peckham
Today's job inspect and test a domestic installation in a sheltered housing flat. TN-C-S earthing system. Main protective bonding correct. 


Wet room for disabled occupant. Electric shower and extract fan supplied from a Wylex 2 way consumer unit  with BS EN 61008 30mA RCD main switch. Recently installed.


RCD does not trip on X1 RCD test but does trip on X 5 and operation of test button. RCD does not tip on a second and third test after X 5 test and operation of the test button.


Thinking about the Note to Regulation 643.8 are you content with this installation as there are no other observations recorded and prepared to issue a "Satisfactory" EICR?

    It could, after all , be a 100mA RCD in disguise?Airplane


    If I get these test results the first thing I check is that it is a 0.030A RCD and not an 0.300A RCD having been caught out in a gloomy cupboard under the stairs in a house some years ago, I also check the tester settings.


    But as this is JP it goes without saying the RCD rating and tester settings will have been double checked. ?

    I was sat next to my wife on the settee last scrolling through the emojis and she asked what on earth I was doing, I replied I was looking through the choices of emoji on the IET discussion forum to reply to a post by JP she raised an eyebrow and said are there really emojis on the forum? Then raised it again when I showed her the choice.
