AMD 2 ALL SOCKETS UP TO 32A TO HAVE 30mA RCDs

I have not seen on this forum much about the mandating 30mA RCD protection for all sockets with the removal of the Risk Assessment exception in the AMD2 DPC. 


Not to many objections on the DPC website.


Any views?

    Mine will be a repeat of last time - bad idea for IT server rooms etc where you have non-electrical people wanting to re-configure supplies, often 'under duress' (main production system is down and management are jumping up and down because of the amount of money that's being lost every minute) - perfectly safe for IT bods to do using plugs & sockets, absolute nightmare if they're hard-wired. Of course 30mA RCDs are a complete non-starter due to earth leakage with racks of IT equipment.
