Moving a light switch - is an rcd needed?

[littlespark]

This is a thread about moving a switch and the need for adding an RCD.

We don’t need another discussion about whether BS7288’s are suitable.

Blimey fitted quite a few of them old 12way wylex CU's DP main switch in the middle.

Is it really that long ago ?

Yeah nothing as straightforward as moving a light switch!?

From what I can recall the crux of it is down to internal clearances inside the devices themselves; 61008 and 61009 offering larger clearances than 7288 devices.

I'll see if I can find out the papers

Thanks. Where did you find this out BTW? Doesn't seem to be common knowledge

Indeed, but as that was answered many posts ago, and we all still seem to be here, we might as well
