Well - if they are NOT class 2 then they must be earthed.

What do the instructions say? Can the switch be used with another (two-way system) and without a Neutral.

Switches are two triangles; new switch has one upside down.

I can't be bothered to read the whole thread again so it might have already been said. However, over-thinking has been prevalent and along with the poor choice of words; namely bidirectional and unidirectional; it has led to confusion. As far as I can tell the terms just mean that...

Just put a UK plug on it.

I am not sure I understand all this. Leaving aside the fact that it is 'alternating current' so presumably going both ways everywhere anyway. Through the RCD, the Line current and Neutral current (while alternating) go in different directions. If this were not the case the RCD would not and...

...but it is not necessary.

Or not.

They are called open barrel crimps. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-tools/6061629?gb=a There might be cheaper ones - I didn't look.

...maybe not - but if they are not doing that, then they will.

Don't you mean higher? Yes, there are infinite possible values of every part. Yes, I was going to write something along the lines of: given the choice of either SB or RCD I might (now) choose the SB.

Perhaps this will persuade @equitum that SB makes a difference - and what a difference; it alters just about everything. I think I have calculated it all correctly but if anyone sees an error please let me know.

There are certain regulations for "conductors in parallel". You can't just count two separate wires that you have connected as such.

From the first of Flameport's links. So - either another totally inappropriate name for an electrical item or possible an inaccurate translation from the original.

dmcclymont was saying that.
