I understand that the latest regs state that all bathroom electrical circuits must be protected by an RCD.....
Our consumer unit has a master RCD (80a) which when trips, or is manually turned off - kills ALL power to the house.... the individual circuits (upstairs lights, downstairs lights, upstairs sockets.......) are individual fuses rather than individual RCD's (a bit like those that are in a plug at appropriate size’s - not the ye old wire plug in efforts...)
Would I be right in thinking that as there is an RCD protecting all circuits on the consumer unit, that this would be fine for the latest regs and I can get things like lights and extractor moved (thus modifying the cable) without the need for an extra RCD to protect just the bathroom?
Thanks
