If I pass a cable through a wall directly into an accessory is that cable classed as being burried at a depth of <50mm and therefore require RCD protection?
Concur entirely with common sense..Would you worry about the tails embedded in the wall entering a consumer unit 6 inches below the ceiling. I wouldn't but the regs require you to rcd them or protect them with metal conduit . The way I look at it is, we need to use some common sense, there is very little chance that someone is going to damage the cables in both instances so I wouldn't worry about it
One other side issue of this thread.....Yep, but more like - Boiler controls (room stat) surface clipped in boiler cupboard then through wall and into said stat..
That is very true!!! I had forgotten about.. (additional note n, Pg9 App Doc P)Ah, but boiler control wiring is notifyable under part P..
Personally I would not RCD in this instance' date=' but I thought that it was worthy of discussion..[/quote']
Concur most defiantly always helpful to bat a few thoughts around!
We are both thinking on the same lines there bud!Interesting point raised there - where wiring which IS technically fixed, and a part of the structure of the building, is also effectively part of an appliance. Should we (indeed does anyone?) note on their certs that the c.h. control wiring has not been checked?To take that further - as Noz correctly says, heating control wiring is notifiable work, and notification is confirming compliance with part "p", and having issued appropriate certification. Would you issue a MWC for a C.H. stat?? Would you notify it to building control??
(Please note, the last question is would, not should you!!)
oh!SL..............pushy, shovey thing comes to mind again........ :x :x:x ] :^O
This one could provoke some heated discussion............. ]
Noz - I wouldn`t Zs the stat. period.
SL - I see you actually got a pushy, shovey post in BEFORE me again.
