I would suggest that the problem is in the module, providing you do not
have
it connected to any sort of load.
30ma is the min correct level of protection against electric shock, any
higher than this i.e. 100ma would only protect against fire. see 16th ed
iee
regs. (removing the rccb from a circuit that has been designed around its
use could cause danger. this device may have been installed to make sure
the
tripping characteristics meet the current regulations. especially if its on
a circuit supplying socket outlets).
you could try the module in a circuit protected by different rccb. this
would show if the rccb has a fault or if indeed its the module.
cheers
Peter

Has anybody any suggestions?
We plugged in a X-10 transceiver and when operated it blew the RCCB,
the RCCB is rated at 30mA, we haven't come across this before. Is the
RCCB rated too low ? or have we got problems with the Transceiver ?
Look forward to hearing your replies.
Thanks
Ian
