Do foxes like rubber?

I understand that ferrets go mad for rubber and rubber-like silicone alternatives.

Unless you have very carefully coordinated time/current curves there's no guarantee which breaker will trip first, or at all :)

Well that trip order is expected. They are probably both 30ma but the one in the consumer will experience the total imbalance from all the connected devices and so will usually trip before the one dedicated to the external socket.

The dedicated external RCD might be doing no harm, but don't they consume power, even when not in use.

I was wondering quite what to expect opening this post !

Rats seem to like rubberised cables. Sounds like a job for a bit of tubing to me, or raise it up a long way on a catinary wire. Brian

Yes indeed, I mean, fox frogmen, or fox fetishists? After the story I heard Peter Gabriel mentioning in an interview with his erstwhile Genesis cronies where he dressed up in woman's clothing and wore a foxes head and nearly went straight off the edge of the stage, it does make one wonder. Brian

I doubt there are many ferrets in this part of London? ;-)

I've been using this cable to do this job perhaps once a month for many years. And this being the only time it's been chewed. And in two different places, but only one right through.

Yup. I could quite easily re-wire that RCD/socket onto a radial fed from the none RCD side of the CU.

Was wondering if those who have electric cars and charge them on their driveway have the same problem?
