Mods - this guy needs to be ejected from this site - he is a danger to himself and others as demonstrated above - he adds no value and is simply here to self publicise the pamphlets (nee books) he claims to write.Bernard,
I ramp tested the RCD to make sure it was operating at 30mA, then I deliberately touched the line circuit conductor to prove to myself that although less than 30mA flowed, the shock was still of a magnitude great enough to kill.
If the duration of the shock had been extended, I can assure you that the magnitude was great enough to kill. That's why I used the back of my finger, and started by doing it upstairs.
