RCDs on 110v sockets

MrJack96
Do 110v sockets require rcd protection?

    To be clear, RCD protection is not required by 7671 for socket outlets on reduced low voltage systems such as are commonly found on construction sites in the U.K.

    Agreed - now I look carefully it's spelled out clearly in the last paragraph of 411.3.3 itself (promoted from just a NOTE in the 17th) - "The requirements of Regulation 411.3.3 do not apply to FELV systems according to Regulation 411.7 or reduced low voltage systems according to Regulation 411.8".
