And finally, we've openly permitted RCDs to deal with disconnection time not only in the UK, but also in CENELEC countries, and across IEC, for many years - at least 13 years now in the UK with current wording, but even further back in time being realistic, as there was a sort of "permissive" approach towards RCDs for automatic disconnection towards the later 16th Edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2001 and perhaps earlier).
Is there any evidence that modern RCDs are failing to provide the protective function?
