Discuss RCD after meter & before CU in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Love that phrase... "the costs unsettled the owner who merely stated he was seeking a safet certificate"

So, he's/she's collecting rent but doesn't want to actually spend any money on the place to make it safer?

Also, you said, "
As RCD and an enclosure dont cost very much...." You can buy a fully loaded BG CU from the shed for not much more than an RCD with an enclosure, so the only difference really would be the time it takes to install and test.


 
You state "so the only difference really would be the time it takes to install and test." but in this situation 'Time is money' and i'd imagine a homeowner would be more likely to understand the benefits over someone who is collecting rent.

As long as it is 'Safe' they're happy so if it doesn't need it they don't want it.

But who am I to tell them otherwise, advice is only as good as the person receiving it, and as long as it isn't a requirement then it's like the person is a baked cake with lemon and poo inside; looks sweet and innocent on the outside but inside they're bitter and full of sh*t. strange analogy, i know, but im ill and tired.
