A Rooihuiskraal earth-leakage report should capture when protection operates and what was in use, while keeping the protective device in service.
Record the event safely
Note the time, weather, affected circuits and appliances operating. Do not hold the device on, bridge it or repeatedly reset it to maintain supply.
- Trip times and weather
- Equipment operating at each event
- Access to indoor and outdoor circuits
Look for patterns without diagnosing
Record whether the event follows rain, equipment use or a recent alteration. Treat the pattern as test information rather than proof of the faulty component.
Prepare controlled testing
Arrange access to boards, outlets, fixed appliances and outdoor circuits. Ask for tested findings, isolated defects and restored circuits to be documented.
