Duel rcd consumer unit

Is having all the lighting circuits on 1 RCD in a dual board considered a C3 on an EICR? To me it defeats the object of the exercise.

 

[Amp David]

I'd code it as, but could depend when the CU was installed and to what regs

 

[varilite]

I'd have thought 17th as before we just used 1 RCD and kept the lights off.

what do you think about the fact for a small cost to the customer you could swap one circuit over to the other RCD and not make mountains out of mole hills?

 

[telectrix]

unless theres a shared neutral.

is it ---- a C3 :-/

The occupier of the house is moving so he dosent care, if new owners want it done if and when they complete the house sale I shall oblige.

ah well then so what ha ha , I'm sure it's fine.

 

[varilite]

unless there's a shared neutral.

Trust you to throw your proverbial spanner into the works

That's what Mods do, hang on----------he isn't is he, hmm, maybe after 50,000 posts he may get promoted LOL

Could it be that there is only 1 socket circuit?? and that's why it was done!

Need more information.

For what its worth I wouldn't even code it.

depends Mike....
its probably got a shared neutral in there and if its a tw&t to run.....as some of em can be....epecially if old Mrs. Brady dont want her decor damaging in any way...

 

[telectrix]

if there was a shared neutral, then i'd give it a code C3. mybe if i was in a bad mood, like if the offy had run out of beer, then a C2. after all, if a Electrical Trainee isolates the upstairs lights to change the landing lights, it's a potential danger. on 2nd thoughts, bugger it. 1 down 55,999 to go.

thats why both lighting circuits go on the same OPD Tel in them situations.....
