I have the same tester as you and when I was testing type A RCBO's I had the same issue with 5x trip times going over 40ms even though all of RCBO's were brand new. In the parameters and limits section of the RCD auto test section if you scroll down past "I∆N" and "Test" you will see an option called "RCD Standard", you need to set this to BS7671 as by default it's set to an IEC standard. It solved the issue for me. Great video as always.

Another handy little trick for 'rodding' is to have a length of cord that can attach to the rod end, with a super strong ceramic magnet on the other end- then go 'fishing' with another rod with another magnet on the end of the rod- they will occasionally hang on a nail or stud plate, but when the second magnet gets near it, they go together with a bang, you can then pull the string through and then the cable- I have used this quite successfully over the years with TV antenna cables, very handy where you couldn't otherwise access the area without lifting the roof or cutting into the wall, especially in double brick cavities or at the edges of low roofs etc- you can even roll the cord around the rod to push it out to the wall cavity (like a winch drum), then 'unroll' it down inside the wall to where the other rod can grab it, and with those rare earth/ceramic magnets, they literally only have to get 'fairly' close to each other and 'bang' they stick...

What a great way to spend a wet afternoon! I love watching people working and to get a few laughs into the bargain is a real bonus. Guess the Andersen A2 EV charger is quite pricey so will probably go with the Zappi.

What a shot, must admit I was feeling nervous about it going into the mains wiring though even though it was isolated!

Would it not have been easier to route up through the wall cavity from the CU, into the loft space and back down (next to the camera)? That way you only need to use SYJ when you exit the loft space down to the charger and the render is left untouched.

Same in Spain, been doing it for decades. Think its the same in all of Europe I think.

The rcd tripping issue is the fault of the metrel 3152. Mine is behaving exactly the same on testing certain brands of a-type rcds. Metrel are aware of the issue and they are trying to write a firmware update to resolve it. Mine is back with them as we speak.

Hi there i have been fitting many Andersen units. The RCDs constantly fail and i have had to resort to upstream type a rcds on all installs. This is from advice by Andersen themselves they say they now always add upstream protection on there in-house installs. How did you overcome the issues wit trip time? I wish they could make this public to advise us contractors that the additional protection is required. Apparently they pass when tested in a lab. Everyone I have fitted failed the trip times in some way.

Is it possible to test the RCD without the EV load?

For those wondering re the keyring.. its looped AROUND and follows the path of the original cable? Hmm sounds OK but in practice?🙄😂😂 Sometimes it works but !! Eaves can be wood AND they can be problematic. It is not uncommon in older buildings for the eaves to be rotten or rotting. You can't fix clips, cables to etc whereas plastic (newer clip together units) are sometimes easier to tuck cables etc in behind out of sight. Insulation testing also known as the Megger tester helps ensure the cables don't suffer from what is known as 'leakage'. Interesting that second hand appliances sold through charity shops etc have within UK law to carry a mark of certification as having been tested. Offices and other commercial/industrial services where staff use ie kettles, other have to have their equipment tested once ever year and a sticker attached to show that has been carried out. 👍 Its always when doing an assessment prior to work installing to do a physical check as well as a visual one AND to go over with the customer what you propose to do. IF they don't want you to do something a certain way etc then you can compromise or simply DON'T do it. Luckily using that conduit was a good choice and it is out of sight from the main entrance etc. On a wing and a prayer guys drilling next to that security camera? 👀Good practice to inform the customer that you are about to turn the power back on. Also I never flip the switches on to the ON position before engaging the main power switch??!! Having the customer turn off BEFORE you turn off the power any devices such as boilers, heaters, cookers etc and then when you restore power turning them back on NOT leaving them all on! 😶👀Stay safe guys!
