Testing A-type RCD at half times 100m/A ?

aligarjon

I watched a video the other day which mentioned that A-type 30m/A rcd's should be tested at about 54m/A i think it was and that setting your tester to 100m/A and doing a half times test was was acceptable.  Is this correct and where does it come from.

Cheers.  Gary

    Just found it again. It was actually 42 m/A.

    This is for the Type A Test and is NOT "AC waveform" test, the spec of which is the same for Type AC, Type A, Type B and Type F RCDs. All of these RCDs have the same Type AC requirements.

    The RCD should be tested using the Type AC Test.

    Take a look at Table 2.17 of the 9th Ed of Guidance Note 3 (Page 96), it's all spelled out in there.
