Cannot get RCD test to work?

[HappyHippyDad]

Evening chaps..

I have just fitted some downlights in a bathroom and needed to give them RCD protection as there was none. I fitted the following:



The test button works fine and the unit trips when a fault occurs (touching neutral to earth) but I cannot get the MFT to test it for trip times which I need for the MWC. Its a fairy decent MFT and I've never had any trouble with it testing RCD's before but I have never tested this sort of RCD before, it has always been in the CU. I make contact with the live/neutral/earth of something which the RCD is feeding, I get the little 'tick' on the MFT and then it just wont test.

Am I missing something simple here? Is this unit tested in the same way as you would an RCD in a CU?

Onions it isnt as easy as that is it yessterday there was quite clearly baiting going off in my opinion.
This is how i see it iamelectric and meggerman seem to have a problem with Glenn and Mike who are both friends of mine as they are with lots of members in here. And i cant find anything insulting that was apparently said by MDJ towards the op mIke is a well respected member here and all i can say Meggerman is, your comments to him yesterday were out of order as he had done nothing wrong, if you have got a problem with either glenn or mike then be a man about it and sort it out with them this is not a bloody playground itis a forum for professionals so get a grip.
Thats my opinion like it or lump it to everyone

and i sees the OP still hasn`t graced us with his presence this evening...

I expect he has had enough of the thread after a couple of members crashed the poor fella's thread, Sounds like a flat battery or testing the wrong side of the RCD, either way he should have sorted it by now

Cheers I have had 2 versions of what was said yesterday and am in no doubt Meggar man was trying to provoke an argument, well he got one, and I was not to blame, anyhow as I mentioned a few posts back, all over, bored and time to move on

More nonsense. Your comments are unfounded and you act like a school yard bully when caught out. I'll leave it now as am getting bored too. I don't forget either.

are you on drugs? you, not me started this whole thing off, how can I be a bully when my only participation in this thread was positive to steve (hippy the op), seriously you have issues, your about as normal as a one legged man tight walking with a chair tied to his chest hair whilst blindfolded.

i hope that wasn`t an invitation to come into the fold.....

[7029 dave]

I suggest the plug is pulled on this thread!!.

 

[MDJ]

I have deleted the post.....but it's probably best to take a chill pill before posting ridiculous comments like that on a public forum in future.

too late now, put it back up, who cares I am raging now
