Is RCD needed at both ends of armour feed to outbuilding

[shanky887614]

Extend the equipotential zone then?! Just goes to show how useless these scam assessors are! Mind, aren't Napit assessors the ones that insist on flying earth leads in sockets? What a bunch of morons!

They are not applying BS7671 to their assessments, they are applying 'club rules'. Your responsibility is to ensure that the installation complies with the former set of rules, that is all! If it complies with the former but doesn't comply with the latter then that is an issue between you and them only, your installation still complies with the regs.

What good is a flying lead?

It is earthed by the pins?

You should never need to remove the faceplate with power on anyway (test from the front etc)

I pay similar, but why should I have to pay these parasites just to work ?
I work to BS7671, and where applicable the various building regs, of which part P is one.

Exactly my point when I called the Napit assessors a bunch of morons! lol

It's life unfortunately nothing u can do but I make money they make money. Ur not going to work for nothing so why should they. But back to original point if another spark or assessor raises a point to me I will always listen and i wont then jump down there throat asking for reg numbers. If I am honest I don't know if it is a reg but it's something which I have been in discussion with napit hence my comment in breath was I stating I was right. Anyhow am off for a beverage

 

[wersolaruk]

Sorry I meant to say I wasn't stating I was right, this bloody iPhone keeps changing my words on predictive text, the little bugger.

I will give you some advice wersolaruk, buy GN8 and all will be revealed, the other GNs such as 1 and 7 are very useful too, you should already have GN3

And it's exactly that kind of attitude that allows organisations such as Napit to bend you over and sharply shaft you up the backside whenever they deem necessary in the first place! You take lethargy to a whole new level my friend!

if another spark or assessor raises a point to me I will always listen and i wont then jump down there throat asking for reg numbers.

Why the hell not? You pay them for a service (supposedly), if you want to ask questions it is their duty to answer them!

 

[wersolaruk]

Thanks for the advice I take this on board

 

[wersolaruk]

They really don't bend me over mr Skelton I can assure u that. Any how av had enough of this small talk. Bye bye

Ok I will do as it states in my post I will clarify this on Monday I maybe wrong but if my governing body implies this I should at least listen, as I am not apart of the ' I know best ' department as some people will always argue the ----

Before we go any further, none of the Scams are ''Governing Bodies'' even if one or two of them like to ''Think'' that they are. They are Part Pee providers, ''Nothing more''!!

As for even thinking about leaving a far superior earthing system behind in favour of a TT system, leaves a lot to be desired as far as you're technical ability goes. No concept of RCD discrimination either by the sound of it!!

 

[wersolaruk]

No concept?

You bend over for them then, that's worse!

 

[wersolaruk]

I know I love it what can I say?!?!

 

[spark 68]

No concept?

If you had two 30mA RCDs at each end of your sub-main, there is no guarantee which one would trip first, or even both would trip together, this means they won't discriminate with each other.

I usually prefer to have the RCD local (in the out building), as it is more convenient to re-set if it trips, instead of having to walk (possibly in darkness) some distance away to re-set.

RCDs in outbuildings prevent muddy boots messing the hallway carpet in the event of a fault
