| 848514 | 2010-01-13 23:33:00 | Hi I cant think where ask to post this so here it goes. Can you guys have a look at the pic and comment on how the RDC is wired up. Is it correct?...It is mainly the Nuetral wires highlighted by the blue arrows that I want you guys to look at. 1051 Thanks Richard |

| 848520 | 2010-01-14 02:31:00 | The idea of an R.C.D. is to check that all the current running through the Phase wire returns via the Neutral wire, if they are not the same then that means some current is going elsewhere ie through you to ground and may kill you. The R.C.D should sense the difference and trip the circuit before you even feel it. Looking at that diagram I would say you have not achieved the correct configuration. |

| 848522 | 2010-01-14 04:23:00 | The neutral from the RCD should run to each of the MCB protected circuits, NOT back to the (main) neutral bus, as zqwertys indicates. It is not doing anything as it is supposedly wired. www.stewartsgroup.co.nz www.stewartsgroup.co.nz Edit: option 2 in the circuit diagram |

| 848523 | 2010-01-14 05:22:00 | Hi I dont quite understand this statment. "The neutral from the RCD should run to each of the MCB protected circuits" As all the neutrals from each MCB run to the main Nuetral bar anyway. But have a look at this pic. Probably still not right but I'm trying i1022.photobucket.com Thanks Richard |
