On the 2391 training course for all of this week and something popped up that I would like to what other people made of it.
So we are talking disconnection times, and the question of RCD's pop up. More to the point, circuits not meeting the required disconnection times. I thought I would use the example of a TT arrangement where an RCD is used regularly as disconnection times cannot be achieved, and the lecturer quickly informed me that this does not actually comply with BS7671. (415.1.2)
"the use of RCDs is not recognised as a sole means of protection and does not obviate the need to apply one of the protective measures specified in section 411 to 414"
What are people views on this?!
