It fits the \u003cstrong\u003estandard 3-pin BS 1363 socket\u003c\/strong\u003e used throughout Ireland and the UK. Push it in, and \u003cstrong\u003ethree neon indicators for live, neutral and earth\u003c\/strong\u003e show, in five combinations, whether the wiring is right or wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also carries an \u003cstrong\u003eRCD test button\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pressing it deliberately leaks \u003cstrong\u003e30mA to earth\u003c\/strong\u003e through the circuit, which should trip any RCD rated at 30mA or less. The published trip window is \u003cstrong\u003e60-300ms\u003c\/strong\u003e. That checks the RCD actually works, rather than just assuming it does because the board has one fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe LCD gives a true ground error indication where dangerous contact voltage is present on the protective earth.
