Hi all,
I have a question for you regarding UK law and RCD protection on radial circuits in a domestic property.
My mother lives in a council owned house which was converted from an old TB hospital in the 1960s.
All circuits in the property are radial not ring.
The property wiring is pre 1970s and the consumer unit for the house consists of two old style 6A fuses (upstairs & downstairs lighting) and two 32A MCBs (cooker circuit & radial circuit which covers both floors).
Recently the council carried out electrical work on the building (installation of PIR LED lighting & smoke detectors). They installed a new consumer unit labelled 'Landlord's Supply' and all four circuits are controlled by RCBOs...
Also the other 5 properties in the complex do not have any RCD protection on their circuits.
What do you guys make of this, as I am not a qualified electrician I am not aware of current regulations.
Many thanks for your help,
Michael.
