Well, in any event, a large amount of capacitance (without some you don't have a filter) has been known to trip our GFCI devices. Possibly your RCD is sensitive to that too. But not being familiar with your version of the NEC, anything I'd say is a SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess) anyway. :) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
