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:

[ElectriciansForums.net] Cannot get RCD test to work?

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?
 
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.

As you are unable to evidence your comments Ill help you out a bit. I have just been back to the start of this thread and read though it, I suggest you do the same. You are making comments directed toward me early on in the thread. Now it has all gone downhill you are looking for a exit. There aint one. It is all in the thread.
 
MM ffs go back to post 7 which you made and had a pop at Howard i think you were the 1st person to start agitating members
 
Alls fine sintra were all grown men , i believe things have to be debated and guys have to get things off their chests.
sometimes if threads just get shutdown then nothing gets resolved, but its your call
 
It's clear to see where this thread headed south (remember I can see the unedited versions). Not overly happy to see my name mentioned as I wasn't even on the thread but Marvo has taken action so I'm going to leave it at that.
