[QUOTE="Danny, post: 78230, member: 3213"] Does a distribution circuit need RCD protection .. ? I've got a client who is happy to shell out a few bob on power for garage and summerhouse so i've suggested the following .. New 20A MCB D/Circuit on main switch side of existing split load board to garage CU .. main switch, 16A RCBO sockets, 6A RCBO lights, 20A MCB onward D/Circuit to summerhouse .. main switch, 16A RCBO sockets, 6A RCBO lights ... You'll see that the emphasis is on convenience in the case of tripping .. but as the D/Circuit is effectively supplying fixed equipment does it need RCD protection and if so that's the convenience aspect effectively out of the window ..
