    we have more problem with brand new "expensive" cbi earth leakage units than we do with the good old stuff.

    another good example is the good old lumex plug and light switches...the stuff last forever...replace it with an produc and it is all plastic junk.

    same applies to geysers...once you replace it...you are lucky to get 5 years...some old geysers are still working 25 + years later...the old geysers had a copper drum.

    Provided your tests were carried out correctly i.e: with the load off and at the main breaker then your value is acceptable.

    758 amps reading breaker can handle 3000 amps fault current even at three phase (758 x 1. 73)
