AC Type RCD No PV or Car Charger C3 or C2

Davies Gareth

For a standard domestic Install, split board with 2x Type AC main switches.

No PV or Car Chargers should this be a C3 or C2?

Thanks in advance

    How do we quantify the risk?

    We may understand the consequences of the failure of the RCD but we do not have any depth of evidence relating to the likelihood. It would seem therefore that the risk of injury, if that is what we are considering, could not be properly assessed.

    If the current industry advice is to award a C3 to the absence of a RCD required for providing additional protection, then I guess that is an acceptable outcome. Of course, that might be the end of the matter for the inspector, but the poor client is left with the quandary.
