    When testing a circuit protected by RCBO, do you test at the DB or furtherst point

    I personally dont see any need to test at the point. If it works at the board...its going to work in general.

    When testing a circuit protected by RCBO, do you test at the DB or furtherst point

    Surely its whichever is more convenient at the time of testing surely?? Why are people so aggressive about this? If you're already in the board just check it at the device...if not just plug it in. Stop being girls about this....

    I think its you who has been confused by mine and @Vortigern posts. I was asking as i said in my post because normally those in my experience who dont put the earth in with the mains tails normally have the live in a different entry to the neutral. Vortigern has simply posted the reg about...

But in all fairness OP great job...
