    Landlords EICR and t&e sub mains without RCD

    Ok I accept that point of view. This is why Im Posting this .. because I value the feedback here. At this time I'm not completely sure i agree completely. The thing that worries me is just that we have the current regs for a reason .. this goes against them. I need to be happy with what I'm...

    Landlords EICR and t&e sub mains without RCD

    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"??

    Landlords EICR and t&e sub mains without RCD

    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..?

    Landlords EICR and t&e sub mains without RCD

    Hi All Been doing a lot of EICR for landlords recently due to new legislation and agents i guess. One common issue im finding even with relatively new (10 years) old installations is a T&E sub main. Now some of these have a 100mA rcd .. or no RCD .. some are even wired in concentric cable...
