RCD protection for Bathroom

[Theorysparky]

Old 6 way wylex bored with a 2 way next to it for shower and garage supply.

Regs require new shower to be rcd protected along with the lights

fair enough except............

in this case both the lights and shower will be on the same rcd if i put them on a 2 way !!!!!!!

not good practice but what can you do, supplimentary would all be done in the loft which would mean there was no requirement for rcd. but...

the instructions for new shower require rcd.......

thoughts ???? customer doesnt want full cu upgrade

What about a main switch and RCBO's bud?

Just put the shower through an RCD , the rest of it is a bigger upgrade that they possibly can't afford, leave alone.

I would fit an RCBO, I have used these units very good quality,trip timings within spec and consitent,very low price

Now if all RCBO's were that cheap MCB's could almost disappear.
