MK Sentry Faulty RCD

[wackyracer]

Has anyone else had any trouble with these RCD's. Did a c/u change today fitted a 10 way MK Sentry populated c/u. When it came time to test the RCD'S the first one worked as expected, the second failed to trip at the 1x setting. Wondered if i was just unlucky or wether they have a reputation for it.:sad3:

Mks being sunning itself far to long on reputation, I find that most returns I have are Mk, have now switched to hagar,superb!

but any make of RCD can be faulty straight out of the box....or go faulty after a short time in service..just one good reason not to rely on RCDs as a quick fix for high Zs...

agree with above ^ swapping proper protection and proper circuit design for what should be used as 'additional protection'

Never been a massive fan of MK - they've not let me down personally, but like you've said im hager through and through...more expensive but you get what you pay for and thats quality. Obviouslly on occasions, when prices have to be dropped then you don't buy the high end gear. But where possible, its hager all the way baby!

Aye, unless it's Proteous or CPN then its definitley one or the other...fault from the box, or faulty within a week of service. Terrible terrible horse shiz makes.
