Is it legitimate to have a socket outlet on a non-RCD-protected cooker circuit, so long as the socket has an integral RCD (e.g. TLC CM 4906)? *I am assuming appropriate cable rating, of course. Richard.http://www.rtrussell.co.uk/ IIRC - the on-site guide describes only an integrated cooker switch and socket outlet, not a separate outlet to the cooker switch. The RCD requirement applies to protection of the cabling from the CU to the outlet, rather than just the socket outlet - and given that the conditions set by the 17th Ed cover almost all cabling, effectively, yes, it needs to be RCD protected, but at the CU end. Even if your cabling is exempted, there is an additional requirement for RCD protection if the socket is likely to be used for appliances outdoors. |
