Correct Installation?

[yorkspark]

he must still be confused fitting an rccb on a submain, hope you haven't paid for the unneccessary item!

It's not a submain, it's a supply to a peice of equipment, since we don't know much about this peice of equipment we don't know whether the RCD was a good idea or not.

I stand corrected, however still think it unlikley an rccd is required and that it is an unneccessary expense

Yeah, not too clever of him. I don't know much about this sort of thing, but I was just checking the install for my own piece of mind, and noticed the RCCB and not MCB etc. Quite proud of myself

As for needing a RCCB?! Again, I don't know if it is NEEDED, but isn't it safe having one? Why wouldn't you fit one? The machine is a steam generator by the way



Thanks

Why wouldn't you fit one?

In general one reason could be that the nature of the load is that it's inherently leaky.

How would you know this? Or would it come with experience for example?
