hey up, i think if you fit an rcd for your work then youll be ok on that side of it. i have often wondered tho...say you come off a ring main at a scoket outlet and spur form this to RCD FCU then what about the cable thats coming from the ring main to the spur? if the box is a 25mm flsuh fitter then the cable supplying the spur will be less than 50mm and will need rcd protection?? if this is the case then you could change an mcb for an rcbo..
interesting to see other peeps views on this....
I would try and fit the RCD FCU next to a convenient socket, so that all the cable that you install from then on will be protected, job done. But it will probably be easier just to swap the MCB for an RCBO.
a customer wants a light out in her conservatory/lean to, was thinking just put an rcd sw f/s to control light. old cu with mcb's but no rcd protection. whats the minium I have to do, bonding i guess and how about the fact theres no rcd?thanks
If you have to conceal cables in the wall at less than 50mm you will need to provide additional protection with an RCD/RCBO. Hope this helps
