Mangix: I don't undernstand anything from that video and I can't see how the wiring is done
<f00b4r0>
current *has* to flow for an RCD to trip, that's how it *works*.
<f00b4r0>
in some situations, earth return currents can flow and if they are diverted to the neutral wire (assuming its impedance allows for sufficient current to flow), then the RCD will trip.
<f00b4r0>
an RCD is a completely passive device, it has no way to "check" that two wires are bridged together.
<f00b4r0>
another situation where current could flow when neutral and ground are bridged is when it forms a ground loop and a strong inductive source is within the loop, although I am not sure enough current would be generated
<f00b4r0>
in any case I wouldn't assume anything from a random YT video. After all, some claim you can have perpetual motion and free energy ;P
<f00b4r0>
looking at the first few frames where the cabling is semi visible, it's also apparent the neutral is directly wired, so it is never cut off in his experiment. The most likely explanation then is that there are return currents (from other non-visible equipments) from the neutral flowing to ground when they are bridged and of course the RCD will trip. Anyway, I rest my case :)

I have to agree with f00b4r0, RCD is purely passive device that only looks at the current differential

Also, his PE could be faulty and not at the same potential as neutral

any ideas on which wifi driver works with mt7688? i am somehow out of ideas - comparing my dtb with dtb from other devices it should just work but it does not :P

target/linux/ramips/mt76x8/target.mk shows kmod-mt7603 as wmac, but maybe they used DBDC chip connected to pcie.
