Good to see you made it.

But is the circuit wiring suitable to have no RCD protection??

Welcome to the forum!

No.

How would you comply with regs re protection?

You are surrounded by underground and overground mains cables pretty much wherever you go. Probably more so in town centres etc. Likewise with radio waves. Transformers all give off a low frequency hum, and the closer you are to them the more you will hear it.

I would get checked out by a doctor. You may have an underlying condition. I doubt very much it is caused by your electricity meter though. You will get more EMI exposure from your phone!

Smart meter was causing RCD tripping maybe?

Yep, same here

I haven't posted on there for ages.

I get that, but the testing done by the manufacturer and the approvals bodies will be wildly different to your home brew testing.

Doh, I typed RCD instead of SPD this time. It's been a long day!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that SPDs and RCDs cannot be tested at all, but that they cannot be tested with reasonably priced test equipment. Which is what you referred to when you spoke about installing/testing AFDDs. I don't honestly know how good AFDDs are, but I do know that the...

It was just the point you seemed to be making that you didn't think you should use AFDDs unless you could buy an affordable tester.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, but you were talking about not accepting AFDDs until you had a reasonably pried tester.

To be fair you can't test MCBs either, but you are happy to use them. Likewise SPDs.

Good man!
