Hello everybody

Incoming sub main - breakers open
RCD on out side only neutral connected
outgoing MCB open
NO LIVE COPNNECTIONS AT ALL
RCD won't hold in

it just sits their with (effectivly) one wire in it and won't latch

runs fine on the bench

What I'm trying to run may never work with an RCD (many SMPS) but it puzzles me that the RCD won't latch even with the live not present

The RCD is Farnell's finest - supposed to tolerate anything.

What bugs me most is that the RCDs I expected to have trouble with in wet areas all work flawlessly, this one just supplies a 32A ring main (at 18A) which has passed Inspection
