Insulated tails used to supply flats

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
We have a block of flats completed in 2017 that have supplies to individual flats in insulated twin and earth.

These cables are fed from a switch fuse and then into a ceiling disappearing into the building fabric.

I no longer carry electrical regs books (Approved sparks but fire specialist) but I did flag up the poor way these cables were installed and questioned if they required a RCD as they were not in metal conduit of armoured cables as I normally see.

Was it not a requirement in a 2015 amendment that all cables such as this were protected/RCD?

Many thanks for taking the time to read.

Paul.

    The last consumer unit I replaced in a block of flats was in Cardiff, the flats were built in the 1990’s and the supply from the intake to the flat is 16 mm twin and earth with a full size insulated earth conductor, don’t assume all 16 mm twin and earth has a reduced size CPC without having a look at it.
