[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 11515, member: 250"] As Noz says To avoid an RCD.. you need surface mounted or buried > 50mm or buried in steel conduit (or another suitable earth protected cable type!) And you socket must be labelled or connected via a FCU! But anyway... Where are all theses freezer circuits that trip while people are on holiday?? our house has been on RCD's for 20+ years.. (forgot how long we been here) anyway.. NEVER had a single nuisance trip!!! ?:| ? :| ?:| And our fridge & Freezers have always been on an RCD circuit?? If there is nobody at home using power or pluggin in dodgy appliances.. I would suggest the real risk of a trip is very small indeed!! IMHO but if you really really want it seperate... Stick an RCBO in [/QUOTE]
