thank you for taking the time to explain the answer. I'm glad some people still have manners out theredepends on what earthing arrangement you have.
But remember with a 30mA rcd as a mainswitch you will loose all circuits in the event of the rcd tripping, this isnt good if you are in the shower & its during the hours of darkness, wet hands in the dark trying to reset the rcd.
You decide.
I dont mind giving advice but please be aware if you are planning on doing a consumer unit change yourself, there is a little more involved in this type of work than people realise.
Personally i'd have one with a 100 mA RCD.........30mA rcd for ring/radial and lighting
It is considered very bad practice to put lights on a 30ma RCD especially one that is shared with other kit and afaict smoke alarms must not be on a 30ma RCD.I think it only fair to let you know that I served as an apprentice electrician and was jib approved but that was 25 or so years ago, back as far as the 14th edition, so it's ok to go into this topic a little more deeply if you so wish
