RCD's wont TRIP!

[Marie-Claire]

I changed a distribution board on a TT system to a new one but both RCD's won't trip when i have pressed test. Is it possible both RCD's are faulty? Everything is installed correctly

What make is the CU?????????????

It was an MK

 

[telectrix]

try the hammer test. if it doesn't break, it's OK.

I have changed the consumer unit now and done a complete re-wire as well as added a new ring circuit, moved the cooker circuit to a different room, i only have a shower left to install now and a kitchen ring and !yay! my work is done (too bloody bad i had problems in the consumer unit to begin with but these problems will only gain me knowledge and help me in the future)

So no one got my "Whylex" joke then or was it so bad it just got ignored? Either way, I'm very upset :-(

It was an MK

One of the most common makes of CU, MCBs, RCDs etc, in the UK, .... so how come you had no idea of the make, at the beginning of your thread??

It appears that MK equipment is not as good as it used to be.
I've rcently had one MK MCB fail immediately, and another lasted 6 months.
