    Some interesting new stuff. A new Part 8 for Prosumers Electrical Instalations and a new defininition PEI to learn.


    Foundation earthing for new build and extensions.


    Type A RCDs in preference to Type AC to be used on resistive circuits only.

    AFDDs compulsory for high current circuits in dwellings.


    lots of other interesting stuff.


    Please don't shoot the messenger on this occasion!


    lots of debate on the forum  I am thinking?


    This is your big chance to feed back your views on the changes or forever hold your views!


    John

    thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    In the spirit of debate, it looks like AFDD are now compulsory EXCEPT for high current circuits? And not limited to dwellings, see screenshot below.

    (At the time of my posting, there is already one comment that this will increase the cost to customers, leading to people not upgrading CU's)
