[QUOTE="Uriah, post: 46828, member: 806"] Hi Phibian You can only remove it from the E/L relay if you use non standard sockets,the reason being with a standard socket there is nothing stopping you from plugging your welding machine in this socket then you are not protected by the earth leakage relay we have endless problems with contractors just using the dedicated plug tops on there drilling machines etc and tripping out PLC's etc,it gets a bit grey because you can also say the same of your hi fi equipment but the risk of the hifi develping a problem is less than with a welding machine or kettle.in the computer rooms they sometime install E/L relays but remember you have a clean earth so nusance tripping is avoided,but this is not the norm.Just a story from my past.....on using 4 lengths of copper spike threaded one on top of another and still not getting the required readings the team proceeded to empty their bladders onto the ground around the spike thus providing a nice connection to earth (not leagal or recommended) regards [/QUOTE]
