RCD tripping with mains saw
Earlier this week I bought from Homebase a mitre saw: http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebas...s-2125u-389395 I had read reviews and seemed to fit my needs perfectly. Got it home - and tested it. I found that when I started the saw, it tripped my RCD on the supply. Tested it further - sometimes it tripped - sometimes not. This was on initial start-up with no load. Took it back - got a replacement. The new one is just the same. About 1 in 10 of start-ups the RCD will trip. The saw seems perfect for my needs - very accurate mitres and 90 degree cuts are spot on - I think I will live with what for me is a minor problem - but thought I'd just share. |
