Hi
have a lighting display company on our site setting up displays for christmas and plugging into some areas of our infrastructure.
In some instances they want to utilise our 16 amp and 32 amp c form outlets around site which are outside of the equipotential zone being outside.
These are currently backed by 30ma rcbo's but the contractor is asking us to change to 100ma to "conform to regs" ?????
i can't understand this or agree with it as am i right that 30ma gives you shock protection and 100ma will only give you fire protection and surely as the equipment is outside it should surely be 30ma??
i think it maybe as they are using loyts of LED lighting it will give them nuisance tripping issues??
