RCD Rating and Cooker MCB Location
Hi all
I am looking at the options for reconfiguring a Clipsal CU with Hager MCBs
and RCD.
Currently the box is split with 7 non-RCD circuits and 3 power circuits
protected by one 63A RCD.
To comply with the new regs (17th) I was considering moving the RCD 2 units
to the right, to make room for the cooker and kitchen lights on the RCD side
of the box.
So here come the questions:
Is moving the cooker MCB well away from the incomer OK - traditionally the
cooker tends to be the first "user".
With 3 power circuits a cooker feed (all 32A rated) and a lighting feed, do
I need to uprate the RCD?
The power circuits are upstairs ring, downstairs ring and kitchen in 4 bed
house - nothing too far out of the ordinary.
TIA
Phil
