First of all, (and after that check the other requirements): Have the dog chipped, make sure the veterinarian who places the chip makes a certificate that he placed the chip. (AFTER placing the chip have the dog vaccinated against Rabiës) even when the current vaccination is still valid. Then have a blood sample tested for a Rabiës titer test. These first three steps are time consuming (at least three months) so when started this you have time to check for the other things you need to do. Good luck. Peter.

Many, many years ago you told me that it is normal an inverter does not open a RCD, you explained with a story from your teacher, who touched (if I remember correct) a three phase power supply, connect through a separation transformer. It is really many years back, but that made me still thinking it is normal my inverter does not let the RCD's trip..... Regards.

All cables are "in the air"

I wrote: "the tripping circuit only feeds the fish pond" There are more things in the pond. Like type floater switch (it is from the kind with two floating "things" When two are submersed the switch switches, and when two are free from the water the switch switches. The switch itself is above the water. When I disconnect all, so this switch, the pump, and an "Atomizer" the RCD still opens.

Even when the pump is unplugged the RCD trips. The position from the floating switch does not matter. Last night heavy rain the whole night. The thing is still on... But can you explain that when it trips, even very short running of my inverter can solve this for something like 24 hour? Thanks, and regards!

@itsa Thank you, and I hope you can solve your problem fast! Maybe next time start your own topic?? Kind regards.

I have all circuits separated. On this circuit is only the fish pond. And only this circuit trips Probably I should start a new topic? And let Itsari use this topic? Kind regards, and thanks for help!!

It looks like Itsari took over my post..... I hope my post help him to solve his problem.... To answer some initial questions: In the past it worked OK. The problem started after heavy rain. So damp inside the box where the pump is connected can be an issue. Every circuit in my house is equipped with its own RCD. The main breaker does not have a RCD. I understand the RCD opens when it is dampy. I understand the RCD stays closed when I change the power supply from grid to my own inverter. I do not understand, and that was my question, when I run just a very short time on my own inverter, (a few seconds is enough) the breaker stays closed (ON). We hire sometimes a very capable electrician (capable as far as I can judge) and he has also no clue..... Best regards.

Hi all, I have this strange issue. Our fish pond has pumps, pumps are connected to the power in what should be a water closed box, but with heavy rain the box is dampy inside. So when heavy rain often the RCD opens. No problem. I understand why this happens. The last few days the RCD also disconnected when there is no rain. Always in the late afternoon, or early evening. I still thought because some damp issues. When the pumps do not run the whole night, I am afraid my fish will not survive. So then I switched to our solar inverter. Then the RCD stays in (also normal I once learned, no common ground, or something like that) Then in the morning back to the grid, and no problem till the next afternoon/evening. This I all understand. But now the strange thing. I discovered that when the RCD opens, I am unable to close (It opens direct again) Then I power on the inverter, and the RCD stays closed. But.... When I then direct power off the inverter, and go back to the grid, the RCD stays closed (So all works fine) and it stays closed for the whole night. Like switching on the solar inverter resets something? Anyone an idea where to look? Kind regards.

Great explanation! Many thanks!

I gave up watching after the sound went away. Even with a head set it was impossible for me to follow.

To my understanding plugging in an inverter in a wall outlet without doing any precautions can be very dangerous. And my guess is in Thailand even more dangerous then in many other countries. But even Crossy does not warn now, so I start to doubt.... Imagine your inverter is supplying 16A (Maximum what Crossy advises) and the CB on that circuit is 20A. Then you are able to pull on every outlet on that circuit 36A, without a breaker will open. Even way more, before a 20A breaker will open at an certain overload. But Crossy is better informed. In case I provide wrong information, please remove this post.
