David Stone

I am interested in comments from anyone on the youtube videos, there are several purporting to show EICR procedures. As most know I am currently researching this, and am collecting data.

    All things being equal, if the protective device would activate in the Regs requisite time, what does it matter if there is no RCD, or where a socket is located;  

    Well, when you are holding onto a damaged live faulty appliance or damaged live flex and no R.C.D. is protecting you, you may not like the time it takes for an M.C.B. or fuse to disconnect (if it ever does). Whereas the R.C.D. will disconnect very swiftly and possibly save your life.

    Of course ! Swifter is a safety improvement.  Just as modern cars are improved over older still safe to drive ones;  where one would appreciate the better brakes and seatbelts amongst other safety improvements.   Ok ok  I'll drop the analogy, as its a different subject :-)  Peace.
