[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 314468, member: 6969"] With SOME makes of RCD (and rcbo) it is VITAL you connect the input and output the right way. Check your wiring VERY carefully. I suspect you had the input feed connected to the load terminals. That may not functionally matter for a normal FCU (though it's still wrong) but could be fatal for some RCD's. However with your description of the loads connected, some more serious re design is needed as with the overloading it's only a matter of time before a replacement fails due to overload. [/QUOTE]
