Hi all.
I am just about to change a CU at my mum's house. Apart from the fact that there is no bonding to any pipework, which I will rectify when I fit the CU, the f/freezer is currently on a radial fed by 2 core RUBBER sheathed 1.5mm cable. There is no cpc to speak of!! This cable also goes on to supply a FCU fused to 3A to supply over cupboard lighting in the unit above the fridge.
I was thinking of running in a new radial just to feed fridge and the lighting, but keeping it on the non RCD side of the board. Can this be done or do I need to RCD protect the lighting (so thereby get its power source from elsewhere).
Also with a non RCD protected radial for the Fridge, does the cable have to be run in earthed steel conduit or will plastic suffice?
Again this is for NICEIC assessment so want it to be perfect (as always )
Cheers all
Matt
