[QUOTE="Michael Walker, post: 492672, member: 32308"] Hi Murdoch. The RCD trips when nothing is connected. The generator has 4 wires coming from the alternator housing. 2 earth's, one each pos and neg. 1 earth and the neg go in one side of the RCD, the pos goes in the other. Pos comes out of the bottom of the RCD into the blue ind socket, single neg comes out the bottom of the RCD and into the blue socket. Remaining earth goes into blue socket. The trip goes with nothing plugged in. Sometimes it works for 10 mins, other times it works for 4 hours. When RCD does trip, that's it for the day. But then it might not set for 2 or 3 days after.
