This question has to be a gee up (Australian slang for joke).
Who is RCD?
Maybe an apprentice or someone who works or studies near elevators.
Some people have suggested you try disconecting brake.
My advise don't do it.
RCD do you think anybody would waste money on anything that isn't absolutely necessary?
RCD if you are in the lift industry eventually you will see a lift car belonging to a geared traction machine crashed up into top of shaft or fully loaded crashed in pit that the holding brake failed and the penny will drop.
Good luck and stay safe lifts are killers hope you make it to retirement age alive there is a reason why 7% of a lifties pay is danger money.
