    depth of chase and rcd protection.....

    If the cables are chased more than 50mm into wall what is the requirements for rcd protection? Have missplaced the big red so can't check just now.

    16mm to new board

    I have wired a 16mm to supply a new board for a extension I have been told I cant use a 30ma rcd to protect this cable due to discrimination with the rcds on the new board. I think I will have to chop the cable in to 50mm of the wall:eek:, would this be the only way to get around the problem.
