From the OP's second post I think they discard the live pin and use the
neutral and earth pins when using the sockets in a 12V circuit.

Won't a load between N and E trip the RCD? That's another reason to avoid
this practice.

At risk of getting even further from the intended point;

A short might trip the RCD. A "load" may or may not. There will probably
only be small potential difference between L & E - especially on a
TN-C-S install - so that might not be enough to push 30mA through the
load, depending on the resistance of the load obviously.
