Do you test all your RCD sockets and FCU's ?

[Jimmy Boy]

Perhaps I am too fussy or more likely distrustful of mass produced technology that is supposed to give us all additional protection against electric shock.

Once again today as always I fitted and tested an RCD FCU from power breaker ..guess what it failed miserably on all tests !, brand new out the box X1>400ms x5>400 ms, put another one on perfect ! all less <29ms, I wonder how many sparks/Diyers just press that little old test button and walk away ?

I mean exactly that write same result for one side of rcd and and it should be different on other side

Could you have been talking at cross purposes with the inspector maybe when he was saying "both sides" he was talking about testing at 0º and 180º and you just record the largest result regardless of what the test on the "other side" of the sine wave is - not the other side of the board. Each rcd should have its own results.
