Long gone thread maybe ,
… It has also been determined that ordinary persons are quite thick, and will now indulge in DIY (especially when there is a bank holiday).
These people will insist on drilling and nailing where any reasonable person would not.
An interesting thread and as usual its obvious that we sparkies don't have a consistent view on the regs.
How for gods sake do the people who write the regs expect Joe Public to understand them if they make NO attempt to market and advertise these MOST COMMON situations. Its left to us to try and get things done to the regs and then the bloke down the pub comes and does what the client wants ignoring the regs all together.
Rant over.
This thread is beginning to remind me of the thread about whether a circuit feeding an a garage/shed should have rcd protection to include the feed to the garage/shed, or just at the garage/shed part of th instaallation.
I think it was generally agreed that the whole circuit including the feed shoulf have rcd protection.
In the 1st amendment to the regs there are proposals that on a MEIWC the use of RCD can be omitted when the designer deems it is not neccessary to fit one, but that is in the future, if it is included, which it still may not.
just out of curiousity i remember reading about this when the 1st ammendment draft was written, but it may sound like a daft question, i take it that this part of the 1st amendament draft never be came part of the of the new ammendment ? as i cannot see anything relation to this in the regs
thanks
Rather unlikely, as that would not strictly comply with the Regulations requiring minimum inconvenience.This thread is beginning to remind me of the thread about whether a circuit feeding an a garage/shed should have rcd protection to include the feed to the garage/shed, or just at the garage/shed part of th instaallation.

Yes it is so why resurrect it?
Try using the search facility and read first before asking questions that have been answered ad nauseam.
