[QUOTE="binky, post: 12258, member: 490"] This is not dangerous, but is considered [B]bad practice[/B] as it could expose the customer to a dangerous situation ie fumbling aroubd in the dark etc. That is why using RCD as incoming main switch (not TT) was stopped @15 years ago (although not illegal), and having lived with this set-up on my previous house I know first hand what a pain it can be. New regs follow same principle (and enhance on it), ergo it is still 'bad practice' but not actually illegal as far as I can tell? :| ?:| ? :| [/QUOTE]
