    New light fittings, no rcd

    just a quick one, I’m doing 18th edition next week but have been asked to quote for changing pendant lights for new stainless steel lights. Assuming all bonding, wiring and tests check out etc, does this now require an rcd?

    new socket on no rcd protected house

    Hi all, A house has no rcd protection and im not able to change to an rcbo on the relevant circuit. A new CU is not an option. A new socket is required in one room where the only other power source is on an opposite wall therefore I see the best option is to chase the wall out where the new...
