IET announces new amendment to BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations)

Hi all


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

  • In some instances it will be possible to install a small EN 61439-3 consumer unit in a airing cupboard instead of an FCURCD to connect an additional piece of equipment in the bathroom to an existing circuit when it is not possible or sensible to try and install RCD protection at the main fuse board.


    Cost wise there isn’t much difference, in fact it could actually work out cheaper if there’s a couple of appliances to connect or more.


    But it does seem utterly and completely over the top.
