UK What’s the correct way to enter RCD’s on a split load board on a schedule of test results?

[Ben1908]

Would entering each RCD as a line on the schedule of test results be correct? If so, what would be entered in boxes such as Zs?

Use N/A for not applicable.

If I’ve got a split board, then top line is rcd1 with the rating, trip time etc.. then circuits 1,2,3,4,5 for example. Then another unnumbered line with rcd2, followed by circuits 6,7,8,9….

I find it pointless repeating the same trip times on 5 lines for each of the individual circuits

With dual RCD boards I just write the circuit numbers and details/test results then bracket them together on the right hand side as 'RCD1' and 'RCD2' .

Cheers, this is what I have done previously.

Nothing is right or wrong provided it is clear.

And real rather than made up.

I’ve not been on here for while hope you are all fine and well?

When recording the trip times I only record the x5 highest value (both sides of waveform) where the rcd is being used as additional protection. However if rcd is used as fault protection I then record the highest value at x1 (both sides of waveform) is this ok?

I don’t repeat this time for all circuits I normally put RCD 1 then list circuits below and then RCD 2 with circuits below that and record the above just on the RCD section.

Hello stranger. Just 1X for either additional or fault protection now. It changed with the new amendment.

Good ok, on the software I use it doesn’t list x1 or x5 so that explains your answer and my question. Guess I need to do the new amendment was waiting for the 19th
