Why..?C3 all the way. No way a C2
Eerr
You can see a socket ....
You can't see a buried cable..
You can screw into the live then lick the screw ... if your that way inclined..
No operation of any protective device..
Is this not the point..?
Why do we fit RCDs for stuff buried in a wall less than 50mm deep if not to guard against things that aren't "normal use"??It's sort of the point, if your point was that you cannot possibly protect against every random eventuality and so coding should be realistic based on normal use of the installation. But I don't think that was your intended point, just what I inferred from that.
Because if I am the inspector I am suitably competent, qualified and experienced enough to judge a T&E ‘sub main’ as was described in the original OP as a C3Why..?
For additional protection. Not basic or fault protection.Why do we fit RCDs for stuff buried in a wall less than 50mm deep if not to guard against things that aren't "normal use"??
Ok I accept that point of view.Because if I am the inspector I am suitably competent, qualified and experienced enough to judge a T&E ‘sub main’ as was described in the original OP as a C3
For me right now .For additional protection. Not basic or fault protection.
With tt anyhowFor me right now .
Both.
But I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise .. but I'm not yet.

With tncs or tns yes its additional... but it's still a requirement really unless someone can show me something that says different.
Accepted.If you need RCDs for basic protection you are in a whole world of trouble and cables in walls is the least of your worries.
Yes sirIs the buried at less than 50mm rule still apply to cables within the prescribed zones?
Yes in the case of TT then it's different. Like I said my argument is solely for buried twin and earth cables less than 50mm deep.For me right now .
Both.
But I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise .. but I'm not yet.
Yes sir
