Hi All
I am relatively new to the electrical scene, I have recently carried out some work on a new property ( less than 12 months). I finished off by carrying out a minor works cert, however upon testing the RCD on auto test ( Megger 1552 using three lead method) the tester kept reading TRIP, I assumed I must be doing something wrong so checked my leads were in the right hole and on the right terminal still nada, I moved to some sockets on the same RCD and used the plug and lead and got the same problem.
I then moved to a ring on the other RCD and success, my tester was recently calibrated and works correctly on other circuits so my only conclusion was that the RCD is fritzed, I have managed to get hold of the original EIC and it gives the readings.
I have looked across tinterweb for info and cannot find any answers so have come to you all in the hope you can advise / reassure as it seems odd that the rcd should pack up in a short time.
many thanks in advance
Dave
