Hi all


Just read about this in the latest edition of Wiring Matters Magazine and thought it may be of interest!

    "So they cannot be installed and on an EICR they would be a non compliance so would require recording and coding"

    So let me get this right, I have to remove this wonderful safety device which protects me when I am using my Flymo because its dangerous. (because the wiring regs say so)


    Regards, UKPN.




    That does indeed to be seem to be how some people may interpret the Wiring Regulations. 


    Earlier this year I removed a SRCD when I installed a 30 mA upfront RCD as the two devices were not compatible,  when you pressed the test button on the SRCD it took out the upfront RCD as well removing the supply from the whole bungalow.
