[QUOTE="binky, post: 554622, member: 490"] If that was the case 16th edition boards would be forever tripping for lighting faults, which they don't. RCDs do not monitor what is upstream of them, only what flows through them. They are not reliant on any CPC to operate as they only monitor live and neutral. Stick your finger in the live, you cause an imbalance and they trip, likewise the neutral, albeit the leakage is provided by electricity flowing through you to earth. [/QUOTE]
