Existing system:
Wylex rewireable CU with an RCD before it, supplying the rings, etc.
+
Separate 2 way rewireable feeding the lights - ie no rcd.
Sparky has put new lights (previous light had been removed)
in bathroom, also supply to wall cupboard with a light.
So no rcd as he used the existing supply.
After being queried about lack of RCD, he's connected the above bathroom stuff to an, existing 5A spur off the main CU, and the upstairs lights circuit as well. Spur was also used for bathroom UFH wire.
Customer finds freezer heating etc all off, because he leaves the landing light on when he's out, and the bulb had "gone", taking the trip out, turning all the house off apart from the downstairs lights.
I thought you couldn't share trips between ring and lighting circuits like that.?????????
Original quote was to include new rcd, but that's beside the point. Is what's been done, against the regs, or against Best Practice...?
No bonding other than at mains water and gas, btw.
