[QUOTE="zimmy, post: 371585, member: 21593"] If an RCD drives say 4, 6 or 24 circuits you only test the RCD once (full sequence of tests of course). The RCD is tested NOT the circuits and is best tested at the out-gong side of the unit NOT from a socket outlet ( it says this in GN3 as in 'load disconnected' ) What ever the I delta N up to 30mA Making sure that the RCD test is correct for the type of unit (old BS 4293) (new BSEN 61008 or 61009) as trip times as not the same at 30mA (200 and 300ms respectively) but both at 40mS for X5 Half test (some people do this at zero and then 180 deg) X1 zero deg X1 180 deg X5 zero deg X5 180 deg Mechanical Test push Record highest values of X1 and X5 only as stated If the RCD is 100mA and above X5 not required. Have fun [/QUOTE]
