[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 73776, member: 250"] current draw? that would be the current rating of the RCD surely.. e.g. 30ma imbalance between current in L & N.. so 230v / 30ma = 7666.66ohm approx, so you would have a path to an earthy surface of around 7.6Kohms, to get 30ma flow.. is that what you were after? ?:| or am I treeing up the wrong bark!?:pBlushing [/QUOTE]
