behaviour differential switches (ELCB)
I have 2 differential switches (ELCB's) in my electrical system.
One is rated at 0.03 Amps; the other at 0.30 Amps. When plugged into a 20 Amp fused circuit, protected by the 0.03 Amp switch, my new 1600 Watt electric grass verticutter causes the switch to trip at the slightest (physical) resistance. When plugged into a circuit using the 0.30 Amp switch, after a short test, I have had no problems. This does not sound normal to me; should I be worried? The fuse does not go, so does this mean there is a short to earth somewhere? Robert |
