    Will this fuse board require work prior to EICR?

    I was just about to book an EICR inspection for my property when the decorator said he didn't think the fuse board would pass. He said there was no RCD on the top board and partial on the bottom one. So rather than pay twice I was thinking of getting any potential work done first prior to the...

    Can I use a mcb as main switch? And also RCD protection? Read

    So as the title says can I use a mcb as the main switch. Basically to keep it short I’ve took a 25mm sub main to power an outbuilding. Mains coming in will be Henley blocked and new tails will go into enclosure with b63a mcb which then feeds 25mm swa to outhouse which contains its own c/u which...

    Failed RCD socket given post-mortem out of curiosity

    Many years ago I fitted some RCD socket outlets to my parents home for the two likely to be used outside, the front hall and the kitchen one next to the window. Being the paranoid sort of person I am I always test-trip them when I have cause to use one, and in the case of the front hall that is...

    We have to put two new tower sockets in to a office at work. At the moment we have two towers but four sets of four desks. The two sets of four without towers are fed via extension leads hence the need for two new towers. I have been told by our tech guy we aren't fitting RCBO on the two new...

    12v Rcd or equivalent

    Why isn't there any? If you're using only the plus-negative on the battery and the only grounding point is battery negative to chassis, then surely a 12v rcd would be possible. Or am I missing something totally here. I've scoured the internet and found absolutely nothing!

    What rcd can I put where?

    Does any one have a link or know where I can find the diagram I’ve seen that lays out what rcd devices you can and cannot have up/downstream of each other? e.g. you can’t install a type A downstream of a type AC etc it was a good little diagram but I can’t seem to find it again, I think it was...
