this question is inside a mentor guide at the place i work for someone to be signed off as a fully competent electrician.
none of us can think of any reason why this may be the case, can anyone else?

I connected a BS7288 RCD protected extention lead to a socket protected with a BS EN 61008 RCD. It caused an immediate disconnection of the circuit when I plugged in and activated a class 2 lawn mower.
Needless to say I chopped off the BS 7288 ext. lead plug and wired up a standard BS1363 plug. Worked perfectly ever since.
There was obviously an incompatibility with the two protective devices and the type of ac supply
