The trouble with RCDs is they aren't intelligent. And they stop you taking nice shortcuts like using an earth as a neutral. Or grabbing a neutral that happens to be nearby on another circuit when you're in a cramped space in the attic and can't be bothered finding the right one.
In another subthread. Like I'm going to read all of them before replying to the first one.
Electricity isn't dangerous you pathetic little girl.
It's my house, I'll have it as dangerous as I like.
How about "because the regs say so".
Because someone tells you to is NEVER a reason. Try thinking for yourself, or are you incapable of that?
If you don't understand why a circuit protective conductor should not be used as a line conductor you're not very bright.
Earth and neutral are the same thing, they're both zero volts. In fact we could do without it and just connect the chassis of metal equipment to neutral.
They're actually connected together in my meterbox, and are so in a hell of a lot of houses (half of them?), so there's no difference whatsoever.
No, really he should play with it at every opportunity.
If he is a thick as he appears to be, Darwin will be along to rescue us shortly ;-)
240 volts isn't harmful. I've had several shocks from it. Only the weak hearted die.
When the people in question all hold C.Eng then I trust them a f*ck of a sight more than you.
At some point in the distribution. Not anywhere else.
And when your neutral breaks?
People who make regulations are namby pamby health and softy folk. Grow a pair of balls.
And the other half on TN-S systems?
Grow a brain you stupid f*ck.
In my meter box. There won't be much more than a volt along the cable to the rest of the house.
What's the chances of that? And if it did, everything would go off, and I'd know there was a problem.
They're connected together at the other end of a very big wire going across the road.
Why do you equate being scared of unlikely things as having a brain? What would you do if conscription returned? I can see you cowering in a hut. You are a worthless pathetic excuse for a human being and have no use on this planet. Please go elsewhere.
