    All RCBOs?

    Your first hurdle is probably the highest. But if you've decided that yes, RCDs are good things to have, the issue then is "what type(s)?". The Wiring Matters article has useful examples, and the "extras" of Type B over F seem to be mostly of interest to commercial/industrial environments...

    Interesting to note that SBS are using 6kA devices, but not selling type-tested CUs.

    Conlock conduit

    I predict that sooner or later some under-skilled, under-trained person is going to decide that only having the longest lengths will produce admin savings that outweigh material costs, as "too long is better than too short" and there'll be induction heaters installed in floor and ceiling voids.

    Deskilling the job, and saving time. Two ways to pay their employees less. How are they doing with rolling out prefabricated wiring systems I wonder.

    All RCBOs?

    Dunno. Phones are disposable consumer tech items - people both want newer shinier ones all the time, and are pretty much need to because of the inability to replace batteries when they wear out after a few years. According to Wikipedia over 1.5 billion mobile phones were sold in 2019...

    EICR Failed - Is the electrician trying to make more work ?

    Is it sensible to have a law which requires compliance with a standard which says that non-compliances do not necessarily have to be rectified? Gotta love guidance. Where would we be without it? NAPIT guidance for no RCD protection for cables in walls is C2. Electrical Safety First, of...
