"It is not permissible  to introduce an external connection for the purpose of intentionally creating a residual current to trip an RCD."


What problems, hazard or danger will ignoring this regulation create?

    Such a current would be applied downstream of the RCD. If the RCD trips, or is used as a point of isolation, and the arrangement tries to apply current, you are left with a current which might have nowhere to go except the person to whom additional protection is being offered, or whom the isolation was intended to protect.
