ESR RCD? Which manufacturer?

[Colin33]

Looking at a budget T Delay RCD. Does anyone know who makes ESR ? Are they any good?

 

[Toneyz]

Never heard of them.

I would get one from a local retriable electrical wholesaler.

 

[Andy78]

Not heard of them myself either.

They appear to be a new company based in Northern Ireland called ESR Enterprise but who knows where they source this stuff from.

[telectrix]

agree. identical. designed for left side of CU.like M(uc)K

 

[Andy78]

If it is Europa in sheeps clothing I'd avoid it. I've always found Europa to be absolute garbage.

Nah, what you want is a decent brand like Hager. Very reliable bits of kit are Hager RCDs. I really like Hager as a brand all round. Hager is where I'd go.
Just so happens I have a Hager 100A 100mA type S DP RCD for sale. Be a lot pricier than these ones mind you. PM me for prices.

I've been a fan of MK rcd's for years, but for some reason they stopped making 100ma S types. My local wholesaler only stock control gear, and I've found their delay types to be awful, particularly when pv inverters are on the circuit. I've just discovered a friend of mine has about 30 meters of tails running under his floor from an exterior cut-out to the cu. No protection whatsoever, TT earth, so as a favour I'm gonna fit a fuse and rcd. Didn't want to spend a fortune though ;-) I would assume that even these cheapies have to meet a certain minimum standard and be fit for purpose?

I've got rotary isolators made by ESR before but was unaware that they made protective devices.
