    RCBO testing times

    It's like anything mechanical though. A brand new car will not perform to it's full potential until it has been ran in due to mechanical tolerances within the manufacturing process etc. Why should an electrical component with mechanical components defy this?

    RCBO testing times

    I have found this happen before, to rectify it I repeatedly pressed the test button and energised the circuit for quite a number of times and also retested it a number of times which I found rectified the problem. It may be that all the other RCBO's were manufactured at around the same time...

    I/R testing a single circuit when unable to turn off main switch

    flashing down the neutrals with long nose pliers is sometimes the only way to check if its 3 phase, wired in singles that havn't been numbered and you can't get a clamp meter in to measure the current because there's no room! Am sure EaWR wouldn't be too understanding though!

    Additional consumer unit

    with regards to the earth and tails size, if your going to use 25mm tails, you'll need to use 16mm earth as it has to be equal to or greater than half the size of the tails which would be 12.5mm but you can't get 12.5! 10mm would be too small. As your only defined scope, how will you...
