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?

    A particular cheeky one is the certificate software that "calculates" R1+R2 after they have measured Zs with their multifunction, low current/ no trip test, then magically "fails" the circuit on "higher than expected R1+R2 reading" and a Brucy Bonus of further investigation remedial work.. Why someone is "claiming" they have measured R1+R2 during periodic inspection when they have measured a healthy Zs, is beyond me, but is perhaps an indicator that they should not be doing this type of work in the first place.


    As appeared in another thread. I wondered where it had come from.
