Requirements for RCD protection on a 32a Socket supplying Mobile Equipment

Liam Puffitt

I have been presented an EICR with a code 2 referencing Regulation 411.3.3, no 30mA RCD protection for socket outlets under 32amp. The 32a socket has a 100mA Time Delay RCD fitted, as it's being used to supply a local DB within a cabin. My initial thoughts were this was satisfactory and shouldn't have been coded a C2 due to the requirement for discrimination between the RCD's to avoid nuisance tripping, now I am not so sure.

    I might be misreading it but it seems to say an RCD can be ommitted with a documented risk assessment in this sort of situation.

    Which is why Sparkingchip and I want to know more.

    The documented risk assessment used not to apply to a dwelling, but now its application seems to be even narrower. Users would have to be BA4 (instructed) or BA5 (skilled).

    (I suppose that could apply to most of us in here at home, but not if we were using a corded hedge trimmer, lawnmower, drill, etc.)

    Yes, requires considering as to type of persons using the equipment as I interpret.
