Wiring House -which Circuits needs to be RCD

[Deleted member 26818]

Why make your first statement then contridict yourslf with the rest

I haven't contradicted myself.
I suggest you peruse BS7671.
You will find that the only place in BS7671 where there are requirements to provide RCD protection for circuits is in Chapter 7 'Special Locations'.

Am i missing something here?? What is OP??

please tell me i'm gonna kick myself when i find out??

OP stands for Original Poster (in this case mojo1234). It's always worth typing an unknown term into Google to see if it sheds any light, which it usually does.

Ah, Thanks.

i'm actually intrigued to see what he comes up with. Probably be asking to borrow tools next! lol

the landlord probably wants to seperate all circuits incase he wants to make into bed sits and put seperate meters in at a later date.it's amasing how many things can be pluged into a small bedsit all at once,he has probably had problems in the past with overloading and everything going off.i wouldask him his motives for this design but what the customer wants he gets if he is willing to pay for it.

i do wonder what maximum demand would be and what size fuse you are going to ask the dno for?

Surely 100a? its still only a normal gaff, just with a ridiculous amount of puny circuits - an I&T nightmare lol!

For minimum inconvienience you need a 18+ way circuit board and 16 RCBO's

And please don;t take this the wrong way but nearly all of your previous posts have been "looking for work" and now you come in with this?

Seems his found it - now looking for sparks!

Sorry to digress but its also worth knowing that when typing into google using the define function is very useful, in this case...

'Define: OP'

It searches online dictionarys and gives you a definition without leaving google
