Often read the threads on here and there is often talk about 30mA RCD's for protection.
I am in rented property and have an EICR booked by the landlord for mid October. Just had a look at the CU and the main isolator is a 100mA RCD with 9 separate circuits, (2 still wired but no longer used), all protected by MCB's of varying current rating, (2 x 5A for lights, 2 x 30A for sockets, 1 x 45A for cooker, 1 x 15A for defunct storage heaters, 1 x 15A for defunct water heater, 1 32A for ring in new part of house and 1 x 6A for lights in new part).
When the test is done is it likely they will recommend the RCD is changed for a 30mA one or is it still ok to use the 100mA unit? There is no other RCD protection for any of the circuits but some individual appliances that belong to us have RCD fitted plugs. The CU is a plastic Crabtree housed behind an MDF panel at the top of the wall upstairs. I seem to recall a guy who came about 5 years ago saying it was TN-C-S but could be wrong as we can't see where the main cable enters the property.
