    volex rcd

    hi just a quick one, as far as I'm aware, RCD's (with two poles, specifically the VOLEX VR80 30mA) don't care which side the Line or Neutral go in. Am I right? Or is this model a special case? Can't think why, I know it works on an inbalance betwixt L-N, and the bumpf says you can wire it...

    Peak Short Circuit Current value on the SSEG form.

    I've looked at the easy MCS guide on here, and it's not clear, (in my eye's) to what value you place in the part where it asks for this. I've done a pscc test at the AC isolator with my fluke, and it's giving me a reading of 600A. Is this what they want? There's no mention of it on the SMA...
