Discuss Extending Ring Main in the Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Guy's can you confirm that if I extend an existing ring main for (one socket) the existing circuit has no RCD protection I can do so without adding RCD protection
Thanks for the replies lads
This can become rather costly for the customer, the consumer unit will not accept RCBO's,it's not an issue for one socket as it can be an RCD socket but if you install a couple of sockets or the customer wants a certain type of socket ie brushed Chrome with black inserts etc etc then the only way it can be done at reasonable cost is to install a RCD spur in circuit and then feed the additional sockets from the the spur
done that a few times. might be the best option in the OP's case, use existing OCPD to feed the RCD.Or use a RCD in a small enclosure next to the DB to protect the whole circuit.
Go on you've got me, O/P and OCPD stand for what?:smile5:

Would you really be extending the Ring Final Circuit by adding a spur?
