[dan.]

what is the difference?

 

[Badger]

its when the polarity cycle is reversed by 180 deegrees

 

[batty]

what is the difference?

Could be a few milliseconds.

:^O

Could be a few milliseconds. :^O

if we work on 50Hz full cycle then we are looking at half this - 1/100th of a second?

No?

Don't get technical on a saturday night patch I won't call you paddy anymore as I know it upsets you.

When you are testing a RCD at 0deg you are testing the +ve half cycle (leading edge) ; testing at 180deg you are testing the -ve half cycle (trailing edge).

You usually do get different readings,,,, note the highest on your certs...

You ask what is the difference?

that is simple its life or death!

This is where a full understanding of over current protection ,choice of cable,and all the other things you learn in college add up to you being able to install a system that will full fill the requirements and provide the disconnection times required to save both life and property.

Thats why I hate Part P but I am drunk and I know some good domestic installers are out there BUT!!
