There seem to be different types of RCD - which is best for a lawnmower?
Where do you buy them from? (not necessarily on line)
How much do they cost?

I've had a qualcast one for years, and its been very good - I've used it
for all sorts of things. Unfortunately although it is rated at 3Kva I've
just melted it by running an immersion heater through it. RIP.

Why on earth would you wan't to run an immersion heater on an RCD
protected circuit!? It really doesn't do anything for you (safety
wise) for an appliance like this. Not to mention that an immersion
heater shouldn't really be connected via a plug anyway (it sounds like
this one is).
