[QUOTE="the doctor, post: 366973, member: 75"] No Sidewinder, You are missing the point that Phoenix makes I drew it out to get it in my mind. When (if) the RCD main switch trips on an earth fault the both the L and N are disconnected from the supply. Even if the inverter carries on pumping, you cannot get a shock as the whole installation ( the pv AND the rest) becomes separated from earth. You could only get a shock by touching L and N at the same time and you have no protection from that in any installation. It is a valid point and effectively negates 712.411.3.2.1.1 I am not suggesting anyone flaunts the rules, but it appears with its lack of publicity, to be regulation that is 'ignored' [/QUOTE]
