In previous houses I've had I think that any burglar alarm and wired smoke alarms have always been on different MCBs at the consumer board. I had always thought this made sense and I'd assumed that it was some kind of legislation that had been followed.
I was looking at the consumer board in my current (relatively new) place just the other day and I noticed that the burglar alarm and smoke alarms were on the same B6 MCB. Flicking it proved, sure enough, the smoke alarms and the burglar alarm lost power.
Is that acceptable practice?
