Question I was asked today - would like to get some affirmation of my answer please.
My oppo has a job where the incomer is being moved to en external cabinet. The CU will be approx 6m away, on an adjacent (interior wall). He intends to bring the tails & EC up the cavity,along the top of the wall (ceiling down to be reboarded) and down single skin internal wall to CU. Question was, as customer has `requested` 17th ed. install, does he have to fit an RCD on the supply side?
I said no, but that the internal wall where the CU is going should have protection against nails, screws etc, and that I`d personally put a sheet of steel between the top of the wall and the CU; thereby affording necessary mechanical protection.B)
Yea........... ...........or Nay......... ........?????????
