orite folks, ive got a single phase lead which has an inline camping style rcd about a foot along the cable from the uk 3 pin plug. This then adapts to the red socket which plugs into the ritmo xl. We've used this cable plugged into the mains for pumping acrylic through 20m hose and had no problems.
When we used the cable to try and mix and pump bagged render the 13amp fuse in the plug blew as soon as powder hit water and entered the worm. Obviously the 13amp fuse is the weak link.
My question is would it be ok to change the live pin in the plug to another neutral pin(wired directly not fused). Bearing in mind that there is an inline rcd rated at 16amp for surge protection. Surely the hardwired plug will just pass the current along and the rcd then becomes the trip switch just like a regular consumer unit??
