7.2.3 Earth Loop measurements with an RCD in circuit

Loop testing L-N through and RCD will not trip it, using the 2Hi test mode. However testing Phase to Earth requires a test that draws

less current and help prevent the RCD tripping. It is impossible to guarantee that an RCD will not trip. If there is a risk associated with

tripping an RCD alternative methods should be used for testing the circuit.
