No RCD in Fuseboard???

[beatrixtiff]

Hi all, I've recently been asked to do a bit of work in a house in London. Only thing I have noticed is it has no RCD in it... :yellow card

The house was wired around only 8 years ago but was this legally the way it was done then? The electrician was apparently very good so just suprised there is no RCD.

And does this mean I will have to install one?

Kind Regards,

Robert

Would the work that you have done require you to install a RCD?

pre 17th, you could wire a house without RCD's providing it was TN & no sockets feeding outdoors etc

MWC, or EIC, are they in a "PartP" special locaiton?.......

It has some nasty missing blanks there.

I would have thought at least one socket could be used to supply outdoor power...

BUT..

could be RCD socket!

Are there any RCD sockets installed?

cant see any shower circuits listed either..

so possibly ok?

Any EIC for previous work????

Seems an odd order... also the first floor ring is on a 16A?

An RCBO from the forum sponser will fit that board perfectly.

Job done!
