Everything to know about the 17th Regulations

[Spudnik]

socket outlets ALLOWED in BATHROOMS.......... that wil be handy for that plug in convector heater i got from argos.....NOT

They are allowed 3 METERS from Zone1 (i think).

And the same goes for plate switches instead of pull cords.

Hi
called into my local wholesaler today and noticed some wylex boards 'on offer'. The salesman said they were 16th edition because they only had 1 rcd ! Unless iv'e missed something there's no mention of the number of rcd's in the 17th edition ? integrity of supply perhaps?

funny enough I am just about to ask about this!

From what i understand if the circuits satisfy the regs ie mech protected, deeper than 50mm, surface mounted in trunking, in ceiling voids etc, etc. Then there is no need for RCD protection otherwsie you have to. Also split from upstair and downstairs so need 2 rcd's

not 100% so dont quote me on this

We often use Wylex 12 way split load CUs (with one RCD) and include 2 or 3 RCBOs.

I think that the 16th/17th edition label is just wholesalers jargon. It makes it sound like they know what they are talking about when in reality they only know what they need to know.

Don't forget all domestic socket outlets require RCD protection.

Cut tabs into mine instead of having lads of sticky tabs hanging out lol, looks a lot neater though, and easier to find things.
