You can't negeate the RCD as it was client spec regardless of what the brb says.

However, the client needs to be held accountable for their spec also.

Great idea.As long as you are signing the cert and not me.

why's that?

if its spec'd obviously.

OP stated it was client spec

So if one becomes loose and falls out you maintain your earth (although you would likely never know anyway).

even though the main earth usually has 1 connection....

OP stated it was client spec

the topic had gone slightly off the op's description from my behalf

 

[Sidewinder]

?

Post #3 by OP states that RCD device was client spec.

?

 

[Lee321]

yes i know lol.

but i had taken it off topic as to why rcd would not be required

I'd be surprised if the start up sequence stops the unwanted tripping. I tested a job a few months ago using an old multimeter set to 200mA range and got a continuous 12mA from 10 desktops once they had booted and stabilised, so taking into account that most RCD's I test trip from 20-27mA I'd say 30 has got to trip the RCBO unless they have very clean psu's.

Can you explain that a bit more please mate. What sort of meter did you use and how did it read leakage on continuity? I'm very interested and wanting to learn. Cheers

 

[Lee321]

we always used electrak sockets so its not a general purpose socket

Through a 32amp 30mA memsheild2 type C rcbo patch, as per the schools request.I did point out the potential problem, but they said they have another class wired the same & have had no problems to date, but they do have to fire the pc's up in groups with 2 min intervals...all done remotely from the IT office.

I work in a school, and some of the things they want me to do would make your toes curl. I hope you got it all in writing.
