As I'm aware all outside sockets must have at least 30m/A RCD protection . However....
The DB this socket is fed from has a 100m/A main RCD (the socket is off a 10A MCB). So it doesn't comply.
But....this DB is a submains and is fed from another DB which DOES have a 30m/A main RCD. So does this comply with the regs or not? I understand that if there was a fault it would most likely trip the 30m/A RCD first , meaning everything would trip, so there is no discrimination. But what would you recommend putting on the test sheet (recommendations sheet). Cheers guys
