Thanks Paul,
Very good reply, well explianed.
Very true about the RCD. Some people assume
because they are using an RCD they can do all sorts of strange things & if anything goes wrong the RCD will trip. I think it should be made clearer that the device will only trip with a live to earth fault, & will not trip with a live to neutral fault.
I NOW fully understand the CTE principle
so its obvious you could not have a similar device on the secondary out-put side due to the CTE. Is there a safty device you can use on this type of circuit?
