[QUOTE="Couleddie, post: 191323, member: 1729"] We have just leased some new premises for our design consultancy (which I used to work for before branching out and occasionally do the odd job for when i'm not busy) and i'm about to sort out extra sockets and network cabling. Been down today to check out what's required and noticed that there's no RCD protection on any of the circuits. The rules on RCD protection for commercial premises seem a little ambiguous and 'being under the supervision of a skilled person' cannot really apply as I won't be based at these premises. We're installing a kitchen area in part of the building and I intend to put a new RCBO protected radial in for this to supply fridge and kettle. The rest of the sockets will be powering computer equipment. Currently the cables run behind the plasterboard and are at a depth of less than 50mm. Any advice/opinions would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
