[QUOTE="Dave.C, post: 432260, member: 27848"] 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 [/QUOTE]
