[QUOTE="vecnar, post: 523809, member: 34539"] I have just tested and light circuit mcb at slot 17 is not feeding off/connected to rcbo in slot 1 and 2. Thank you for mentioning that! I will need to rectify it as the last time I painted the corridor I undone brushed steel light switch and touched accidentally during painting live wire at com terminal when trying to move it and got a shock that lasted a few seconds and I was surprised that rcd didn't kick in and it was hard to pull myself away, I assume grounding of the light switch itself helped me to release it. I was suicidal at that time and wasn't careful, normally i disconnect or apply electrical tape around the contacts. I have 2 light circuits, kitchen cooker, smoke alarms/attic lights that are not on rcd. Should a smoke sensors/attic lights circuit be on rcd as well? I just do not want smoke sensors to be disconnected and a bit surprised why attic lights connected to the same circuit. [ATTACH]13315[/ATTACH][ATTACH]13316[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
