----
(3) An RCD used to protect against electric shock, and that is either installed as
part of an installation or is a portable RCD, is deemed to be electrically unsafe
if it has a rated residual current exceeding 30 milliamperes and—
(a) it does not interrupt the current in all live conductors within—
(i) 300 milliseconds when passing its rated residual current; or
(ii) 40 milliseconds when passing 5 times its rated residual current; or
----
Should that actually be worded:-
(a) it has a rated residual current exceeding 30 milliamperes; or
(b) it does not interrupt the current in all live conductors within—
(i) 300 milliseconds when passing its rated residual current; or
(ii) 40 milliseconds when passing 5 times its rated residual current; or
(c) etc etc
The same as (5) (a) and (6) (a) ??
