Discuss RCD sockets regulation in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I'm told it applies to all socket outlets,
Thank you Dave , the reason I asked was that I was told it had been amended but couldn't find it so I was sceptical anyway.Told by who?
If you are being told this by the person who is paying you then crack on and do what they want.
If you are being told this by someone else then ignore them.
You are right that it is sockets of 32A or less which require additional protection by 30mA RCD (RCD protection may be required for other reasons such as fault protection in a TT system)
You might decide that, above and beyond tbe requirements of the regulations, 30mA RCD protection is beneficial for your particular application, but it is not a requirement.
The main amendment change was that the omission of RCD protection now requires both a risk assessment and to be in use only by skilled/instructed personnel.Thank you Dave , the reason I asked was that I was told it had been amended but couldn't find it so I was sceptical anyway.
