Next thing these quangos will insist on will be grounding on the Van De Graaf generators in the school science labs so no-one gets a shock!!!
No need for that. The schools can't use them now.

I wasn't having a go at you, just the whole idea of RCD everything.
Is everyone missing the obvious here, run the supply in armoured to each ramp, and to previous posters, no the ramps don't drop hen the power is disconnected there are latching mechanism in place for just that.

Cheers for all the advice lads. I have quoted to install a couple of single phase C/U's with RCBO's to cover the socket circuits and a 3phase RCD in an enclosure for each car ramp. I'm gonna take another look before I agree to anything fully though.
With regards to weather or not the stuff should actually have RCD....interesting debate but considering they're insisting they want it I don't really see it as being my place to tell them they cant have it.
surely the ramps have to be checked every 6 months anyway under LOLER ?? and theres no trailing cables like off a 13a sockets, seems over the top and pointless RCD'S on ramps.. what next?
hard hats for motor mechanics, just in case a jubilee clip falls on the head.
Same set of toolheads that banned conkers i bet!
