[QUOTE="Feenster, post: 552905, member: 37736"] Thanks for the clarification. However, does it still apply that it would be better to put a RCBO on each ring circuit rather than 1 RCD 'looking after' 6 or 7 MCB's controlled ring circuits? The radial circuits for the lights are only MCB protected - they should probably be RCD protected also? (However, an interesting thing happened recently. The RCD 'tripped' when it was wet and windy. After much trial and error I found the problem to be an outdoor light fitting that water was getting into. The RCD is only on the ring circuits and shouldn't have anything to do with the lights and yet it 'tripped'.) [/QUOTE]
