No Rcd Protection C2 Or C3. C3 Protection Basics for DC Grids Part 2 Video IEEE Resource Center No RCD for buried cables is a C3 No RCD for sockets that can be used outdoors C2 No RCD for bathroom circuits (without supplementary bonding) C2. BPG4 recommends that the EICR code for no RCD in this instance would be a C3 - IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDED
Which type of residual current device (RCD) you should use for protection? EEP from electrical-engineering-portal.com
I agree with David the cheapest solution would be to add an RCD in a box to the lighting circuit near the consumer unit, provided the cable in between doesn't need RCD protection for other reasons, eg buried in. Lighting circuit without RCD protection does not constitute a C2
Which type of residual current device (RCD) you should use for protection? EEP
So I am going to change the consumer unit as that is what she wants done As stated in the other answer, the wiring regs are regularly updated, so something that was a C3 5 years ago, may well be a C2 under current regs. In this instance, you would need to ensure that these cables have RCD protection for the appropriate circuits
No RCD protection on circuit. Temporary solutions? r/DIYUK. DB : 4.4 Condition of enclosure(s) in terms of fire rating etc (421.1.201; 526.5) - CU in a domestic household premises is not metal or installed in a non-combustible cabinet, showing. In this instance, you would need to ensure that these cables have RCD protection for the appropriate circuits
Is your RCD protection up to standard? BSEE. C3 Code: (Improvement recommended) A C3 code signifies that improvement is recommended in an electrical installation condition report (EICR) if bonding is present C3 RCD sockets and fused spurs (ie BS7288 devices) are no longer in BS7671 as they do not afford additional protection
