is a discontinuous CPC, where all accessory points are Zs good, on a RFC, with no RCD protection, potentially dangerous or just needing improvement ?

psychicwarrior

as time moves on and opinions shift - especially via pressure from changes in Regs, H&S, CP Scheme influencers;   what was once safe is now not safe and all that !

e.g some now may consider the lack of RCD additional protection to skts  (even if everything else is ok)  is a potentially dangerous situation, where as previously that may not have been the case; same goes for lack of RCD to lighting circuits and even more so if circuit serve/pass a bathroom .

therefore, to the subject question as written ...  what's the consideration 'today'  please ?

and then, same question but where RCD protection on the RFC is present ?

and best wishes to all for a lovely day

    The takeaway (for me) is that nothing much has reasonably changed ... some see it potentially dangerous, others not (depending) ... but it (the cpc) isn't as it should be regardless. There maybe a majority lean towards potentially dangerous.

    In terms of an eicr regarding the question, would then a whole installation be unsatisfactory for continued use with the issue as described (and if that were the only matter)...I foresee in my crystal ball that a similar result of  opinion would be.

    In the end much of anything can be made potentially dangerous can't it whether the starting point is ideal, or less than.

    Peace and good health.

    Agreed (from another perspective) ... a question is posed without all the necessary facts to make a decision, and then it's "no surprise" when "no conclusion is reached" (see my post a few mins ago regarding thermal constraints) Joy
