RCD socket outlet.

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
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!

    Good morning members of the flat earth society, at least it feels that way as those people refuse to believed any evidence that is contrary to their belief.


    A few points that may help some of you come to a different view.





    4.BS 7671 511.1. and then a look through Appendix 1 to see if BS 7288 is there?

    5. BS 7671 Regulation 133.1.3.

     





     




    Hi John, BS 7288 wasn't listed in appendix 1 of the 2008 17th edition, and here is a related topic from ye old forum:

    Would you mind explaining why this has fairly recently become an issue that you hold dearly? ps, you seem to be struggling to get your new board fitted, I have a couple of hours spare next week if you need any help :)
