CD. Any
w that trips an RCD?
one wire with the current coming out of the deive on another wire. If they don't match, some current is finding another path back to the power supply , which could pass through somebody. The RCD turns off the power to the dev ice when this happens.
k to the other end of the coil that doesn't pass through the two power lea ds, that could - if big enough, and sustained for long enough - trigger the RCD (also know as an earth leakage trip).
the coil, and wouldn't necessarily degrade or wreck the insulation.
urrent across it should not be noticed by the RCD.
han a miniscule amount at rf due to stray capacitance to the nearest object . Try to understand, or I'm pretty sure I'm going to replonk you.
e side to go to a safely ground, surrounding metalwork or whatever.
yup
tes a big enough voltage, it will find it own way back to that safety groun d or the surrounding metalwork. The other end of the coil will be connected to one of the wires going through the Residual Current Detector, and could well generated enough residual current difference to trigger it.
that's imprecise. The current finds its way from one to the other end of th e coil. The mains supply doesn't see any flow.
ross the coil at turn-off is high it will find it own way of completing the loop, not neccessarily following the route that is follwed when the vibrat or is running normally.
sure - just define 'the loop' with more care
und current, other than a miniscule amount at rf due to stray capacitance t o the nearest object" is invalidated by the observation that you are compl aining about, viz that the RCD trips.
no it's not. RCDs are far from perfect.
t loops, but the latter exercise might prove more rewarding.
I've done the latter. You're still struggling on that point. We'll see abou t the former.
