RCD socket outlet.

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!

    I think it more embarrassment and a need to regroup and replan.


    There has been a huge amount of time and money invested in the new SRCD and FCURCD devices manufactured to the new version of the British Standard that you are being advised not to install.


    There was a comment above that we may see these devices being tested and sold as approved to three British Standards including BS 61008, I wonder how far off complying they already are?
