OT Test button on RCDs

[ARWadsworth]

Got a phonecall this morning off someone asking what the test button was for on the CU. I gave a brief description and said "go on press it". They did, and that ended the phone call as they were on a cordless phone. 2 minutes later I received a phonecall from a mobile number, same person asking "how do I turn the electricity back on? The switch will not go up". It turned out to be one of those RCDs that trips to the mid positon and needs to be turned to off before resetting:-)

Sympathy - I've been caught by one of them, too.

I did get there in the end. Not easy when doing the job over the phone!
