RCD protection in an IT run office

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Jolly good morning all,


I am currently carrying out an EICR for an IT based company in their head offices.

Looking at the 12way  3-phase distribution board, I can see there are multiple ‘Office Sockets’ circuits labelled up on 32amp MCB’s and not a single RCD in sight. 

To my knowledge, the use of RCD’s is perhaps not required in this type of environment, but just wanted to check your opinions.


Many thanks you’s and I hope everyone is having a splendid dayV?

    We are not being rude or insulting. It is clear you are not qualified or competent to carry out periodic inspections. What you are doing is putting the public at risk,and you are breaking the law. So please stop now!


    If you want to work in the electrical industry start by signing up at your local college or training provider and do the 2 year course up to Level 3 in installation. At the same time gain experience with a competent electrical contractor working under supervision. Having got your Level 3 qualifications sign up on the Level 3 18th Edition course and gain the qualification. Then maybe AM2 NVQ3 and get your electrician JIB Gold card. Continue gaming experience workin as an electrician. Then study for and gain the 2391 inspect and test qualification. After 2 years you can get your JIB Approved Electrician Gold card. Work with an experienced electrical inspector gaining  experience of inspecting different types of installation. Work towards professional registration by applying for EngTech. with the IET. Throughout your career do CPD on a regular basis. This forum is a really good source of CPD as you can connect with a wide range of industry experts.
