As above, can anyone recommend a make/model of metal housing to accommodate only an rcd? I'm guessing too, that these will require a metal cover if used in a domestic setting?
Would a lack of lid comply ? All the manufacturers of AM3 CUs seem to have been briefed that a metal lid is required to satisfy the regulations as they all feature one.
The OP asked for a metal RCD enclosure not a CU! lol
Well true, but if this enclosure did not need to meet the same standards or satisfy the same regulation as CUs, he could just use a plastic one.
I was assuming this fell under the "similar switchgear" part of the regulation hence the question.
Hi
Plastic will be fine as long as its just a RCD
Cheers
most scheme providers would beg to differ.
But most schemes are trying to justify their fees and existence.
Just today I was working on a house which had a plastic DNO head - are these going to be changed to metal?
yeah but if you choose to be part of one then imo you should be playing ball.
Only when they stop making up rules to suit themselves....... now if they "clubbed together" and got the DNO's to agree to their members removing seals they would be doing something for us....
I heard a rumour that's in the pipeline.
Tend to agree, and with BS7671 being a bit vague on 'similar switchgear', who else can you ask for advice, unless you think you know better. Carry on installing stuff regardless, might make you look a bit wanting if the authors of BS7671 confirm what the schemes are suggesting.most scheme providers would beg to differ.
I collect 2 module enclosures and wish to add a metal one with a metal door to put in my display cabinet doe's any one know who makes one ?
Hope this puts us back on topic!!
