[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 190847, member: 9512"] gordy71, An RCD is considered Additional Protection by the 17th. Thus the fundemental circuit design and selection and erection of the installation must provide suitable protection and the instalation must be suitable for the external influences. All bar a few exceptions. Adding an RCD is not a substitute for poor design, selection & erection (see GN1), or lack of accounting for external influences. It MAY be that the recommended route for the external influences you encounter will be an RCD, but it is NOT the be all and end all. NOR is it a substiute for poor design and installation. NOW BEFORE anyone gets at me I am NOT saying that you would design and install a poor instalation by choice. I am merely pointing out the considerations. [/QUOTE]
