then you'll have 2 30mA RCDs in series. not only will you have no discrimination, but you'll have no division of circuits in the case of a fault tasking out the entire installation.
Tel that was n.i.c 's answer as well.
Just a FYI, those sunnyboy inverters have a black plastic pull out at the base that's actually a dual pole cut out, and classes as a DC isolator, so that aspect of the install wasn't actually a problem.No DC isolator.
Tell the good old nic ...... They're full of shyte anyway so you may aswell fling some of it back there end

probably more by luck than judgement though.
Just to confirm Glen I know capping isn't classed as mechanical protection I mean even when people normally rough it in they at least normally chuck some capping on them.
Only to stop the spreads trowel.
Lol.... Clever stuff that capping!
always amuses me when the decorator insists he thinks I should be using capping so that people can tell where cables are with one of them thingies.... Until I bring in a bit of plastic capping.

equally amusing is how many that feign competancy cling to the belief that its somehow `mechanical protection`...
never ceases to amase..
i suppose if you wanted to be pedantic (an ar5e!), you could say it mechanically protects against spreads trowel!!!:wink5:
The next time someone (a customer, a spread, a wood butcher, a wet pants, or a decorator) tries to tell me my job Im going to nail a piece of metal capping to the wall and then proceed to drill it to kingdom come with a wood bit, an SDS, a HSS bit, a large nail and hammer, and ....so on. Won't say a word, will just leave them to study it.
It does have to be lockable, this is classed as lockable because you can put it in your pocket and take it away with you.Believe me I'm no solar expert but I believed the dc isolator had to be lockable. I'm probably wrong though.
