TPN SOCKETS OUTDOORS

If this installation was new, would you provide 30mA RCD protection?

  • This is a dockside coal yard that sorts and grades thousands of tons for onward delivery to wholesale customers and the company’s own bagging plant. The sockets are just convenient means for connecting the conveyor motors. There is a TPN socket just outside the picture which is fitted with a 30mA RCD. This was specifically for power washing and has a notice to that effect but it got hit by a lump of coal and, although not dangerous, no longer functions. They do the power washing when the plant is idle but whilst the guy doing it has no idea of the merits of a 30mA RCD, he is cute enough to start the conveyor and use one of the motor ports. 

    It’s hard to risk assess initiative!
