I have my campervan (VW T25 Transporter) with an electrical hookup fitted by myself back in 2003, My problem is teh test button on the RCD wont trip the circuit which would indicate an safety problem? I have double checked all the connections and found all the wiring (especially the earth!) to be correct. The RCD used to trip ok so I am wondering whether the unit is faulty or do I need to use an external earth spike?
It may be faulty , but it could be its an ELCB not an RCD, it should be an RCD nowadays, as delboy says may need an earth spike, but if is ELCB, should be replaced,
------------- Keep smiling, its later than you think !
Guys, thanks very much. I tried a seperate earth spike and sure enough still wont trip. I have ordered a new RCD and will report back if this sorts the problem, regards Keith.
brilliant now you have that all important peace of mind , but you do realise that now it is repaired even youer mother in law can use the appliances safley.
------------- you may be frustrated now but infront of me there is a big incline . yeh it may be slow but it is in front
