Barry, I scent blood. Yours, very soon with the mood this lot seem to be in. A RCD is NOT the solution. At best it's a quick bodged fix.

I don't know Tony, There are a few here that seem to think an RCD is the ''cover-all'' answer to non performing TT systems!! When you think about it, it all boils down to exactly the same thing!! lol!!

If you selected a 3 wire configuration for measuring, then it uses a smaller current and is less likely to show-up a problem on a poor joint.

Use the 2 wire measurement as it's more likely to identify the problem!

You think that's insane thinking? I was going to suggested smearing the clamp with cold custard (with nutmeg, obviously) and getting on your knees and praying to as many gods as you can think of.

agreed...its cheap n slovenly..
theres no reason why a well designed system with a stable, reliable means of earthing cannot meet disconnection times without the magic `RCDs`...it bloody well should be doing anyway...

Thing is I worry as depending on an RCD yet I think we have all had to return 1 or 2 faulty units

Cold custard? Don't forget to adjust tabulated max Zs for BS custard by 0.8

I think most here would shudder at the amount of RCDs (of all types) that were returned to manufacturer for replacement on my last and previous projects!! I'm expecting very little change on this project either. And, were talking of a top of the range manufacturer here too!! It's certainly opened my eyes on the reliability of RCD devices!! lol!!
