Hi all
Following a recent thread on House Revamp, the issue of RCD protection in all circuits came up. Looking at the Regs and the NICEIC toolbox guide, there is a clause which reads (roughly): "RCD protection required unless installation is under skilled supervision".
Does anyone know what this means in English?
Does that mean that the process of installing the cables must be carried out by a skilled person rather than an apprentice or cable puller?
Or maybe (and this only occurred to me this morning) that the installation after handover may be monitored/supervised constantly by a skilled person, who will know where cables run and not drill through them. In this instance RCD protection will not be required.
If the right interpretation is the latter, then does anyone know if I can get an MCBO (for a 6A lighting circuit) to replace a Hager MCB to fit in a Clipsal CU?
TIA
Phil
