Tried them but they kept nuisance tripping or clients didn't understand how to reset them. Houses have their own RCD's anyway so no point.<br>Agree that for big events just get a generator in, let them deal with it. We always leave a jerry of diesel for the client which we learnt from experience. We don't use RCD's with our marquees.

The most you can take from a standard household socket is 13amps (ie one standard extension lead) so to connect up a distribution board you need to either use a generator or get an electrician to connect it directly in to a customers household consumer unit.<br>I hope that makes sense!
