  • There isn’t an electrician under the age of 58 who has been able to install a plug socket in a domestic property without having to consider the requirements for 30 mA RCD protection, so the majority of electricians just accept that it’s not something that can just be discounted and ignored.

    It does seem though that some older people of a similar age to myself are very slow adopters of changes in Wiring Regulations, though over forty years to acknowledge and accept changes is really is pushing it a bit too far.
