Zs tripping RCD on no-trip setting

[Grant Naylor]

Doh!

Turns out simple user error to be the issue.

I didn't check lead configuration and got it in my head you connected N and PE together for the test. It's a three lead instrument and requires all three leads for Zs.

I've only been practicing on sockets as it was safer for me to do so since this is a live test while I got used to the instrument and it came with a 3-pin test lead.

Thanks for the replies...

Oh and it is >999 for IR on the Metrel I checked :-D
