Ive just wired an extractor fan and pump into the lighting circuit of a bathroom and put an RCD Fuse connection unit in line on the whole circuit, lights and all; the consumer unit in the house is one of the old Wylex fuse ones and I thought that was the easier option rather than trying to put an RCD in line down at the consumer unit. Is this the correct approach?
I've got another bathroom job coming up where I will be installing an extractor and building a cupboard to contain washing machine and tumble dryer. I am also going to change the lights over to IP 65 downlighters.
Do I need to protect the lights in this example with RCD, or can I just use an RCD FCU as an isolator for the fan?
Is it OK to put an RCD protected socket in the cupboard to feed the washing machine, spurred from the ring main? It will be in Zone 2.
Sorry to be so bewildered, but Im a builder who recently completed Part P, have the 17th edition book and am booked for both course and Elecsa assessment, and find some of it a bit confusing...
