[QUOTE="Chris7, post: 474162, member: 30876"] Thanks blinky , it's a texecom premier elite 24 wireless, probably a bit overboard for his house. While my experience is limited I've obviously worked on a a few boards during the two years at the training centre but everything we did was rcd it never came up what to do if we'd need to bypass it. I set up a garage cu with sockets, lights and bought a Metrel Eurotest Easi Multifunction Tester (what we were using in class) so I could practice for the inspection and testing module. I felt confident but It threw me the "non rcd side" without really saying what was meant by this, how to get a live without using bus bar? Its a new build house so the CU and the meter box are back to back on external wall with the tails coming in through the back, not much room for tapping in, that's why I thought take the live from main switch but wasn't sure if this is good practice? Asked the sparks at work the sparky who does domestic work still said rcd it and more industrial sparky said said it would be fine to take the live fro the switch? [/QUOTE]
