[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 496693, member: 6969"] The situation I was trying to describe is you had tested the rcd, it tripped, but then would not reset, That is what I suspect happened in this case. So what do you do if you don't have a replacement to put in? Leave the customer without power on most of their circuits while yo go and try and get one? Or offer them the choice of removing the faulty rcd to restore power while you go and find a replacement? The spark in the OP apears to have removed the rcd with no commitment to go and replace it with a new one as quick as possible. THAT seems unacceptable. If none of those are acceptable then the only conclusion is you must have a suitable replacement with you for every rcd that you test, in case it won't reset, How many of us can say we check we have a suitable replacement before testing an rcd?
