No it's a spur off a radial.
An RCD'd spur off a radial.
if its an addition or an alteration to an existing circuit then its a minor works ......if in a garage (remote or attached as in this case) then it isn`t notifyable....
An RCD may be classed as either additional protection or to satisfy disconnection times....411.4.9.
If in the case of the OP if it was found that starting surges were a problem with a type B...and the Zs exceeded the maximum allowable for a type C OCPD would you rewire the circuit in a larger cable to bring it within the allowances for a type C..??,(or some other expensive fix?), when the regulations permit the RCD element of the device already installed to meet the requirements for disconnection times?
If you prefer the first option I'm glad I'm not one of your cutomers.
You can get RCD'd FCU, if you attached one to the end of a radial would it then be notifiable?
So its a new circuit, and thus its notifiable.
That's how I see it.
It's an extension of a radial which is fused at 32 Amps in the house.
This particular radial is not, it's fused at 32 Amps, but the rest of the house board is.
but if its in the regs that it can be done (under certain conditions) Murdoch then wouldn`t an examiner see this as an UNDERSTANDING of the regs?.......Not sure I'd be using a circuit/socket without RCD protection for my assessment!
Isn't this a rebuilt garage and haven't you fitted a new SBD in the garage?
It's a rebuilt garage with a new SDB yes.
The cable was left from the old existing garage.
but if its in the regs that it can be done (under certain conditions) Murdoch then wouldn`t an examiner see this as an UNDERSTANDING of the regs?.......
411.3.3 brbreg number?
