[QUOTE="wizzer, post: 273389, member: 19644"] Hi, I was present whilst the PV installer was doing the tests when the installation was complete, he performed the RCD tests and the test meter displayed a pass result, so if I were to ask for it in writing he will obviously just give me a copy of the results of the test, that isn't going to get me far if they say all is fine. Am I correct in thinking that the RCD tests that have been done will not be correct because, when the power to the inverter is lost the inverter shuts down, when power is reapplied it takes the inverter 3 minutes to come back on line, so whilst the RCD tests were being performed there was no output from the inverter hence the pass result. If each of the RCD tests had been performed whilst the inverter was outputting the disconnection times would have been increased....is this correct? Can no one point me to any official documents that state that the PV should not be connected to the RCD side of a CU that is supplying other circuits? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
