[QUOTE="kme, post: 194153, member: 113"] All is perfectly fine & dandy. It IS better to take the readings at the RCD, IMO - there are no spurious capacitative effects that can affect the readings; and you can easily remove all loads from the cct for testing. If you`re going to do the job, and have the correct gear, etc; how hard can it be to actually [I]open[/I] the on site guide (or BRB) to check the trip times, if you aren`t sure? What in the heck is an "EFLZ" anyway? I`ve not heard of that before. BTW, you can have a TT install with >1K ohm EFLI; and your RCD should still trip within the recommended parameters. What did you [I]think[/I] the 5x trip times were? Just out of interest. KME (ruddy pushy-shovey by the snakehipped one....again!!!!! ]:) ) [/QUOTE]
