Hi all,what RCD should be used in a stable.Currently theres an DP isolator switch but my spark says this needs replacing with a 30mA RCD is this correct?

TIA
 
don't take much to drop a nag. RCD deffo.
 
Yep take the Advice of your Electrician and get him to test it all out afterwards.....Which he should do anyway
 
Im no spark so assumming 30mA is less than 300mA?


Yes...the socket MUST be on a 30ma RCD....the lights can be on a 300ma RCD....but TBH I would prefer to put all the circuits in a stables on 30ma RCD's. If you install a 30ma RCD main switch and that trips you will lose all power,although there are only two circuits,it may be better to leave the DP main switch and install a separate 30ma RCBO for each circuit.

I was told that the horse has a lower dangerous voltage threshold, maybe as low as 25V.
Is it the metal horse shoes?
The front to back legs can't be much wider apart than a bull/cow.
Can anybody confirm this and is it stated anywhere?
If so is a 10mA RCD safer?
