Hi All,
I have had a call from local woman asking whether I am able to replace her cooker that currys refused to replace due to no RCD protection being present on a TT system. There is a voltage operated earth leakage circuit breaker.
With a cooker replacement being an appliance on a circuit how do you all see this sitting.
Ideally the whole installation needs upgrading with appropriate RCD protection but I could see this opening up a can of worms with the potential to need to rewire the property or nuisance tripping by a more sensitive device being installed and looking at the worst case of a potential rewire would be next to impossible with not being able to get in 2 rooms and just about able to walk along the hallway with the amount of clutter in the property.
Just wanted some other opinions on the situation before I proceed.
Thank in advance
Matt
