Visited a job yesterday in an office to look at extending a ring to add some additional socket points - the existing RCD / isolator which covers the whole installation, is a Wylex 100mA 63A (fitted in the consumer unit). The installation has no 30mA RCD cover on the sockets.
There is a second...
Just a quickie please:thumbsup
If a seventeenth edition consumer unit (with 30ma RCD's) is fitted after an already installed 100mA RCD will there be any discrimination issues?
The reason I ask is because I'm sure I remember a while back when I was doing a job with somebody else that the MAIN...
I was testing the above RCD yesterday on my Megger MFT1553 using the Autotest function set to the correct trip range of 100mA but I couldn't get a response from the RCD even at x1. At this point, the meter would simply flash <50V. I then retried the test using the manual functions but still got...
Hi All. I'm working on a project in Northern Ireland. The supply is protected by a 100mA RCD which is regularly triping due to many items of our plant have high earth leakages. We have a large IT area, which, as many of you will be aware of, has a high earth leakage. We also have a good few...
Hi Everyone, a quick question for you all, if on discovering a property had no main incoming earth, there were no earth block (tnc-s) to connect off either, you installed an earth rod and the reading was acceptable below 200 ohms, i think, what would you use on your fuseboard for your main...
A domestic TNS installation has a 100mA RCD main switch and 'Type 2' MCBs.
I Need to move a kitchen socket away from a hob, install an additional one, install a fused spur unit for an extractor hood, and move two light switches to the other side of a room.
The customer is a right pain and it...
Just checking, Did a PIR earlier for a mate and his rental property is TT cpvered by 100ma RCD wired in accordance with what ever reg was out at the time..!
ZS @ 100ma = 500 ohms...?? am i correct !!??? cant remember top of head..!
Hi al,l I am working on a tt system at present. I am going to be a adding a new d/b which will be ran from an existing board which has a 30ma main switch, controlling 1 other circuit i need to change the main switch to 100ma and the 1 circuit its controlling will need changing to a 30ma rcbo as...
Hi fellas quick enquiry regarding the above.
Went to an installation yesterday with this layout: cut out - 60A metal switched fuse - plastic consumer unit. All equipment fitted at a height of 2.8 meters, all conductors and main tails in trunking. Does a 100mA RCD need to be installed to...
If a building has a 100ma RCD unit as a main switch would you insist on a 30ma one also to protect socket outlets on a PIR
main switch as an rcd doesnt comply anyway. im thinking code 3
Also a spur taken of a spur ive coded as 1 as its a fire risk imo, would you agree??
no main water bond...
Can a 63/100mA S type rcd be used for ring circuits (16th edition install 3 rings rcd protected) failed on the TD setting passed on non time delay??
MAC
Hi all,
Does any one know if a WYLEX 100mA 80A RCD WEM 80/2 is time delayed.
It currenty protects a TT system and I will be upgrading the consumer unit to an 17th edition unit with 2X30mA RCD's.
I worried about discrimination, and dont want it tripping before the 30mA RCDS's
I know removing it...
Hi,
I have a job lined up to update a consumer unit,
It is a TT system, there is a 100A 100ma RCD unit between Meter and the consumer unit, the customer wants this removed.
If I fit a Slip board consumer unit, 100A mains switch and 2 X 80A 3oma RCD
so all circuits are coved by 30ma RCD, is...
been looking at a cu today, sum of us had a discussion about rcbo's n rcd's.
Righty, what we have is a split board, 30ma rcd on one side, and 100ma s type main switch on the other. Got Cb's on the 30ma side which is fine, but on the 100ma side theres 2 x 30ma rcbo's. Now does this contravy...
