MCB and RCD mix and match of makes 536.4.203

Stewart Mason over 5 years ago

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are to mixing makes of MCB's and RCD's in consumer units. I went to a callout the other night and the culprit was a faulty 61008 RCD. To get the power back on I replaced the faulty Item with a different make of 61008 RCD. The next day I raised a job to have the right make of RCD fitted. It turns out the QS at work isn't concerned about the incorrect make of RCD and is more concerned about IP ratings being met. Am I right in wanting to fit the correct make of RCD?

What would you code this as on a EICR?

These manufacturing companies are multinational and have access to a huge amount of resouces. Surely it would be to everybodies interest for them to test their equipment accross a wide range of protective devices. It is obvious that much of this nonsence would disappear as well as providing useful data to electricians......
