Private building - External Lighting and RCD requirements

Good afternoon.

I have a private building (student accomodation) which has two types of external lighting

1. Plastic luminaires around the building fixed on the face of the building

2. A mix of metal lighting columns and plastic bollards in the courtyard

I want to confirm tif we need according to BS7671 any RCDs.

The cables to the face of the building are not at any length chased into walls or partitions.

The cables to the columns and bollards are buried underground in ducts.

I do not see anything that would dictate RCDs, at least in the luminaires in the face of the building. I am not so sure about the steel columns.

Any ideas or previous experience is much appreciated.

Kind Regards

  • Is the cable armoured ?

    Is the supply to the building that supplies the lamp posts PME ?
