Hi all,
Quick question with regards to adding new sockets to a circuit under the new regs,
Am i right in thinking that if you go to a house that has no rcd protection on it you cannot add sockets or enlarge the circuit etc without adding an rcbo to the circuit first to bring it in line with the new regs, obviously i'm talking about when the new regs are in full force.
Reason i ask is a friend of mine has some big fish tanks and he has all the various components on double rcd sockets so if a pump were to go it wouldn't take out the whole tank, so i wanted to know that if he was to want some new sockets added to the circuit would the circuit require require a rcbo at the fuse board to bring it in line with the 17th edition.???
thanks guys
