Default RCD or not to RCD ...

I'd much prefer everything to be on a 30 ma RCD after all a 100 ma ones
not going to be much fun to try to trip through your body



Agree on life protection, and the 30mA RCD wil provide protection to the AC
outlets, Radial and Ring Final circuits.

The Best Practise oft talked about is not to have lighting on a 30mA trip
duwe to nusisance tripping, many on this group for example have advocated no
protection for light circuits.

Now I prefer to have some protection to prvent fire hazard, and thus have
all light ccts through a 100mA RCD which are much less prone to nuiscance
tripping.

My question is really pretty simple - do I protect Imeesrion and cooker or
have them unprotected.
AFAIK the regs do not require protection, but that doen't mean i t's best
practise.
