[QUOTE="BonceChops, post: 87932, member: 179529"] An RCD trips when it detects a difference in the current in the live and neutral conductors ( 30mA in a domestic installation ). If current was passing from one phase to another this would be an imbalance so an RCD would trip out (if fitted of course). When you say You would have to touch both phases at exactly the same time to receive a 415v shock. If you touched one first you would get a 240v shock. To receive a shock there has to be a path for current to flow. For example you touch a live cable and current passes from your finger, up your arm, past your heart, down your legs and into whatever your standing on. If you want to try the 415V shock you will need to be wearing wellies or some other non conducting foot wear, grab one phase ( no effect because no connection between you and earth ) and then the other. So the next time someone tells you they have had a 415v shock ask them in detail what happened. Then you might be able to smile like I do. Neil [/QUOTE]
