My house had a new consumer unit fitted in 2005 it's partly fitted with RCBOs and partly with MCBs it was installed by the DNO who are SSE in this area bearing in mind the year it was installed are the rcd fitted likely to be electronic type or plain electromechanical ones I'm asking out of curiosity because if ever there's a fault in my workshop ( for this read that I make a mistake or an error when experimenting) usually the house RCD trips despite me having an electronic plug in one on my test bench supply which I think should fire first ide really appreciate your wise words on this thanks x Kelly
My modern kit is a FT817 transceiver with external solid state amplifier to give me 50 watts on all bands from 80 thru to 10 meters I also use it on VHF 50 and 144 Megacycles when I'm out on a local hilltop. The vintage kit is an old tektronics scope I'm trying to make work and an amplifier from an old dansette record player. Up until the weekend I also had device called an Edwards HF vacuum tester which was never mine but my mate let have a borrow of it. Who knows what interesting kit will come my way in the future.
