    New MCS Consulation > 50kW

    Just received this: I would suggest we all reply to keep it the same. In my opinion > 50kW requires different expertise and would normally be an M&E type contract, don't let these guys scope creep into commercial areas, the whole design and contract process is very different above 50kW. Same...

    RCD tripping at 1/2 x but not 5x

    Hi all, I have just changed a consumer unit for somebody. When I did the RCD test, they both tripped at half times and 1x but not at 5X. Also, I had a call last night and they said that one side of the lounge lights causes the RCD to trip. Any ideas please? Cheers. Nick
