RCD socket outlet.

Former Community Member over 5 years ago

Hi all,
Any comments on this one most welcome!
A customer wants me to replace an existing one gang 13 amp socket outlet with a double.
The problem is that there's no rcd protection there, so i'm thinking that as I am in effect adding a socket outlet I should fit an rcd protected one?
If I were replacing like for like it wouldn't bother me at all but the fact it's going to be a double makes me think an rcd protected one is the thing to do, just seems a bit ott to fit one rcd protected socket when there are probably 20 others that aren't rcd'd!

Hi Weirdbeard,

Yes that converta socket is the way i'm going to go with this one, she does want some other work done at a later date including more sockets so when that happens i'll go for the stand alone rcd next to the c/unit.

A year or so ago i'd have been talking her into a c/unit change but as i'm out of the scam now I don't do notifiable work!

regards,

Dave.
