Hi all

Looking at the Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate left by the
now infamous Building Control Inspector, there is a field labelled "Method
of protection against indirect contact".
My B-I-L thought that the letters ADS should be included here - automatic
disconnection of supply.

Now for the ring main I could see this being appropriate - having an RCD on
that would give protection against contacting something that had indirectly
become live - is this what is meant by protection against indirect contact?
For the lighting, there is no RCD, just the mcb. Is this device considered
to give protection against indirect contact?

In brief, what should I be writing in this field for ring main and lighting
circuits?

Thanks

Phil
