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?

    For big offices the best way is to have floor track under a raised floor with purpose made leads from the floor track. The ends of the leads brought up to banks of desks with a strip of 13A sockets on the end of the cable. Each strip of sockets has  built in BS EN 61008 RCD protecting the sockets. Real plug and play installations.
