So you would think that there wouldn’t be too much difference between the regulatory requirements on the relatively small island of Ireland. Well, having provided RCBO protection for all circuits in a domestic installation in the South, the contractor from Northern Ireland who erected the installation, is turned down as according to the RECI inspector, RCBO protection should only be provided for socket outlets and circuits supplying the bathroom zones. The inspector insisted that the the circuits supplying washing machine freezer etc should have the RCBOs replaced with mcbs as nuisance tripping would be an issue.
Yes indeed RB, the contractor was in the process of applying to RECI.
Can you advise if I am correct in saying that in domestic properties, the contractor can provide an earth terminal by connecting neutral bar and earth bar in consumer unit providing a separate electrode is installed and that there is no DP isolator upstream?
