Ive had loads of digs of RCD protected circuits without the RCD tripping out, care to guess why? and the RCD worked fine.

Worst one I had as an apprentice, working on what I thought was an economy7 off peak board at 1 in the afternoon I decided to try and insert the 16mm tails to the main switch, at which point I received the most almighty shock, had to sit down for half an hour, when my senior electrician, my dad came over to let me know, 'oh yeah, this house has a afternoon boost, keep your eye on it'. Assumption is the mother, or should I say father of all f**k ups.

Anyway back to the original thought, I have never thought of that Mr Evans, but something makes me think I will from now on.

Thanks,

Donnie

We all do it eventually Donnie, forget the very first thing we must NEVER forget , and that is , whatever anyone tells you about it being dead ,you still test it yourself .

The first Sparks I worked with, Mike Faraday, told me that on my first day at work ..." If I tell you that is dead ...don't believe me or anyone else "

coz you wired the circuits to your nipples and linked the RCD out?

30mil is enough to shock but hopefully not to kill, so u probably received a lot less than 30mA, I've received enough to trip a 30mA so in likelyhood 23-26mA and it hurt a bit scared me but little else, if I had been up steps it would have been a lot worse.
