This was to replace an old one that had decided to fail. On testing the 30ma trip capacity it was tripping at 17ma so really not suitable.

Didn’t notice box had been opened.

Unfortunately didn’t check the box when collected.
When about to fit it, I found the box had been already opened. On installing the new RCD, I found that it tripped out constantly, worse than the one I was replacing. I suspect that it had be used before or returned faulty. Not very impressed.

Good value

unfortunately the unit was found to be faulty. fortunately I was still in the shop so rejected the item. They re-ordered a replacement for pick up at my local branch. I only visited this branch because it was the only one that had the item in stock and I needed it that day. Now have to wait 4 days for the replacement due to the bank holiday weekend.

Great Service.

Martin Tec Verified Purchase

British General RCD- good value and does what it should giving protection against electrocution.
Like all RCD protective devices it’s worth pressing the test button every 3 months to prove its working correctly, this was bought to replace one which would not trip when tested.
Type A so fully compliant with the latest electrical regulations and compatible with EV chargers.
