    UK The RCD test button on my tester trips the wall sockets

    We recently moved house (May 2024). The property is old (some >250 years), quite large with different outbuildings/extensions. From time to time the main power will trip (sockets not lighting).

    Socket Tester recommendations

    I’m looking to build my tools back up after a bit of bad luck. I’ve bought some screwdrivers, cutters etc. I’m just making a list of what I had. I’m just after a socket tester. I’ve seen Fluke now have one that looks very good. I did have just the basic Kewtech.

    Ali-express DY4100 Digital Earth Tester

    Don't worry I haven't gone (completely) mad. About a year ago a ride-on-lawnmower became over-friendly with my long RE test leads while I was drinking tea inside. I needed some replacements for a job next week so I was about to shell out nearly £100 for a new set, and then a thought crossed my...

    Wireless socket tester

    I often conduct EICRs alone. I'm curious if there is a socket tester on the market that can transmit to a handheld unit. The idea was that I could flick switches at the board without running up 4 flights of stairs to check whether it was the right one. Or failing that, a socket tester that makes...

    Faulty RCD tripping on the button but not via the tester

    What should you do if a client has a CU that is a split board protected by 2 * 63Amp 30mA double pole RCCDs, you took Zs and tested both RCCDs by their buttons before starting work. But on completion of work, one of the RCCDs, when tested via tester, would not trip, the other operated as expected!

    Electric vehicle tester options

    Hi I'm just starting to fit EV chargers as part of our solar installs. Just looking at the tester options I currently have a Megger 1711 but this isn't suitable due to no DC RCD test. Does everyone end up buying a new MFT or am I missing something? cheers
