[QUOTE="phil d, post: 478004, member: 27126"] By the way this is going I can see it starting to get dangerous! From what I can tell the OP has 1 supply coming in which if TT is going to have a 100mA rcd on it, if he's going to rely on that for everything then not only is he going to have the inconvenience of the whole supply going off if one part trips, there's also potential for accidents. Imagine if the house tripped it and someone was using something electrical on the farm, the RCD gets reset by the householder, a machine on the farm restarts unexpectedly and someone gets hurt! Personally I wouldn't want to be the one stood in court explaining that one. theres a number of good reasons why we design systems the way we do, achieving discrimination etc, and thinking about it, the way he's going the section on external detrimental influences pops into my head, because in my opinion, a fault in the house causing a loss of power to the rest of site would have to be classed as an external detrimental influence.I wonder how this is going to be signed off, or more importantly by who, because one thing is certain, I wouldn't put my name anywhere near the paperwork.
