RCD Testing 17th edition

[Rockomuir]

Hello all,

when undertaking rcd test on 17th edition duel board do you have to test each individual circuit, or can you just test the two rcds. I have been testing each individual circuit but A collegue believes that you only have to do the later.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

The requirement is to test the RCD and this should be done at the RCD with no connected load.

The results are applicable to all circuits protected by the RCD.

you are testing the rcd's not the circuits
