In my time working as an electrician I have had to buy seven editions of the Wiring Regulations, this is the first one I bought and have on my shelf.
So when I started working as an electrician there clearly was not any issues about using BS7288 RCD devices, bearing in mind that then and now they are made to the British Standard BS7288:1990, which is still current for a few more weeks. Exactly how and why was it decided that there could be an issue with these RCD devices? I suggest that there is no issues with the BS8277:1990 versions, only the new BS8277:2016 versions that are just now being released for sale.
Also I am still making alterations and additions to electrical circuits protected by BS4293 RCDs, but they are no longer listed in the current Wiring Regulations, so is that wrong, is there an issue about using these to provide RCD protection? If there is an issue millions of consumer units with working and safe RCDs that need replacing to undertake minor alterations and additions to existing electrical installations.
