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?

    I think rather than make this a personal attack, be gentleman and point me in the right direction instead of wasting people’s time with your belittling comments. I am a fully qualified electrician and have been for a number of years. Shock horror! If you read through my last post where I practically called myself a muppet, there’s no need for you to jump on that wagon. We learn every day, we make mistakes and we deal with them the best way we can. Rather than send me a negative comment, turn it around and offer good, decent advice, change your attitude, jump down from your high horses and help others out! We are all in this trade together, and if we can all chip in, be respectful on these forums, we can all help those in need of guidance. Come on guys...!


    Joe,

    Clint Eastwood said "Each man should know his limitations" .

    We must all follow that to attain competence .

    No shame in not knowing things but to attempt things out of our competence is a no no.

    JP & DZ are giving you good advice
