Amd 3 compliant, metal, two module unit

[polo1]

As above, can anyone recommend a make/model of metal housing to accommodate only an rcd? I'm guessing too, that these will require a metal cover if used in a domestic setting?

Only when they stop making up rules to suit themselves....... now if they "clubbed together" and got the DNO's to agree to their members removing seals they would be doing something for us....

I heard a rumour that's in the pipeline.

Hum.... should have been done YEARS ago.

Its not exactly rocket science is it!

most scheme providers would beg to differ.

Tend to agree, and with BS7671 being a bit vague on 'similar switchgear', who else can you ask for advice, unless you think you know better. Carry on installing stuff regardless, might make you look a bit wanting if the authors of BS7671 confirm what the schemes are suggesting.

Smallest I've found so far is 3 module with a metal cover to envelope the switch gear.

Ok, not many suggestions then :confused5::confused5: NICEIC Tech helpline today confirmed their inspectors expect metal enclosure with metal lid (doesn't have to be self-closing) in the scenario described in my o/p, in order to comply with Amd 3.

Hi

An RCD on its own does not meet the definition of switchgear, main and auxiliary switching is required.

Cheers

Ok, where does that definition come from? Memory thinks it's fro IET supplement?
