This is one step of RCD testing. Change resistors to find an triggering threshold. Change the plug polarity if device does not trigger (it will trigger only when you connect the resistor to L wire). This method is valid for testing 10 mA RCD if you have 30 mA RCD installed in your house. To test a 30 mA RCD you should find a line not protected by RCD. For 10 mA RCD try a number of resistors between 11 k and 40 k.
And of course, BE CAREFUL!!!"
 
I just love the way he stopped to turn it off first !!!!
Had to stop watching when he started undoing the terminations with his had clamped firmly around the shaft of his ratchet driver , good job someone had not dropped one and wired it back to front when it was originally installed !
 
I was having palpitations when he was trying to force the bugger back onto the rail with both hands and the live connections at his finger tips! L-N shock from arm to arm, not recommended for the old ticker!
 
16 OR 20 amps power...wtf

I did not hear anything about certification for changing the protective device... should be an EIC should it not?

At least with the mini trips you can drop your Cf of 0.725 for cable calcs...
