Unfused spur.

Zoomup
Hello All,


Could an unfused R.C.D. protected spur, from a complient ring final circuit, supplying a single outdoor socket via 1.5mm2 6242Y cable of max. length 300mm through a brick wall from an indoor socket outlet be considered compliant?

    I'd check the 1.0mm² c.p.c. in the 1.5 T&E with the adiabatic carefully - it's probably not by the book on a B32 and the RCD is unlikely to help if the PFC is moderate to high.

    That's a thought. The supply is overheads to a remote bungalow. TT earthing. The C.P.C. is not longer than 300mm from the ring. . Very wet ground just about at sea level. Liable to flooding.
