    RCD not tripping

    Last month I changed a consumer unit and all was well. Now neither of the RCD's are tripping correctly. I get either >50v or >40ms. Could this be 2 faulty RCD's? the make is Contactum and the elecsa guy I spoke to today didn't seem too keen on them. Idea's most welcome Carl

    A question about main fuses & meter tail sizes.

    I'm sure plenty of us have seen 100a fuses on 16mm (or less) tails and know that that simply doesn't work. My question is, has the ccc changed or something as why would they have been installed in the first place?:confused:
