3.2 Residual Current Device & Miniature Circuit Breakers
The Residual Current Device (RCD) is basically provided
to protect the user from lethal electric shock. The RCD will
turn off (trip) if the current flowing in the live conductor
does not fully return down the neutral conductor, i.e. some
current is passing through a person down to earth or
through a faulty appliance.
To ensure the RCD is working correctly, the test button
should be operated each time the vehicle is connected to
the mains supply (see section 5.1)
The Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB’s) operate in a similar
way to traditional fuses and are provided to protect the
wiring installation from overload or short circuit. If an
overload occurs the MCB will switch off the supply. If this
occurs you should investigate the cause of the fault before
switching the MCB back on.
The following table shows the rating and circuit allocation for the three MCB’s

3.3 Fuses
WARNING
When replacing fuses always replace a fuse with the correct value. NEVER replace with a higher value /
rating as this could damage the wiring harness. If a replacement fuse ‘blows’ do not keep replacing the
fuse as you could damage the wiring harness. Please investigate the fault and contact your dealer.
