Hi, I'm training to become fully qualified so know very little at the moment (just a domestic installer right now). I looked at my electrics and can see two lighting circuits not on either of my RCD's. I know this is not safe and wonder why, if I have two RCD's, are the lighting circuits not on them and also can I just add them to the busbar on each of the RCD's?
I did wonder how one could be a domestic installer whilst knowing "very little" 'cos I think that we need to know quite a lot.
Agreed. I'm also a little dubious of the "fully qualified electrician" tag - there's such a wide scope to electrical work these days - from domestic to industrial, HV to building automation, Fire Alarms to heating systems (not to mention the dainty electronics inside many boxes these days), that it would be a rare beast indeed who was qualified in everything. It's just a matter of being competent in your chosen field & activity - however small or large you choose that to be.
