[QUOTE="kme, post: 16547, member: 113"] As I understand it, ANY equipment or fittings in a bathroom should be RCD protected, in order to comply with 17th. Further, I am also of the opinion that a MWC for a modified circuit is verifying NOT ONLY the circuit which has been altered / modified, but also the condition of the supply. I`ve not seen a "modern" CU than can`t take an RCBo. Not saying that such an animal doesn`t exist; just that I`ve not heard of one! I don`t see the issue here guys. If you`re altering a circuit which serves a bathroom, you provide RCD protection for it. I believe I originally posted the option of an RCD spur - problem comes when you try to find somewhere "accessible" yet "unobtrusive". Why shouldn`t you just rcd the circuit at the board? Regs`re happy, you`re happy, and the install is : 1. Safer than it was before you arrived. 2. Easier for the next sparx, as he won`t have to post a question on here about it, as it`ll already be there. [/QUOTE]
