Residential Park Home and Section 708

Colin Haggett

Does the fixed connection to a Residential Park Home on a static park home site come under regulation 708.415.1 as in does it need a 30mA RCD at the connection point? In this case there’s a free standing meter box which used to have a 30mA RCD fitted it’s now been replaced with a 100mA RCD as test button had failed on the old one. Reading the scope it is unclear to me as it reads “residential park homes in caravan parks, camping parks and similar locations” so would a static park home site full under similar locations? Obviously they’ve used a different manufacturer as well which doesn’t appear to fit correctly but am more concerned about it being 100mA.

Thanks in advance

    Is the caravan plugged in, or is it more like fixed wiring, and if the latter, what sort of cable ? There are caravans that are really static and more permanent than some houses, wired in SWA or with ducted cables, and then there are those that are more mobile, where the lead is a flex and trails over the grass for the lawnmower. I'd be more worried about the latter.  Its an odd choice anyway - I'd either expect 100ma time delay ('S type' ) or 30mA instant.
