Main RCCB tripping on r1+r2

[ADS]

So you don't do an R1+R2 when doing any PIR's ADS?

With you saying all Zs tested ok, I don't see why you needed the R1 + R2 figure - just seems a bit pointless.

I would do R1 + R2 on a radial if it was too awkward or dangerous to Zs test, but otherwise, no I wouldn't.

TBH mate I only do them if I can't do Zs OR, if there is another issue which requires greater investigations, or, they are small installs where they are easy to do, or IF the install is a "special" one where by there are additional requirements.In no particular order!

Thanks for that Sides i thought it was normal course of action

Thanks ADS advice much appreciated and welcome.

I stick to R2 on perodics and zs at the point with the highest r2.

Why would i do an R1+R2 on live circuit,Lighting circuit was switched off.

Because you said you left the lights on to see.

Can anyone explain HOW to do an R1+R2 on a live circuit without "blowing" things?

RCCB would most likely trip before any MCB's. That was my point!!

It was Rolf with his tripping RCCB that brought it back to life and looking at ways of taking the main RCD out and putting in a Fuse/main switch.
