Gentlemen,
Am I interpreting the above regulation correctly in the fact that a 30mA RCD is only required to protect every circuit from a genny if the install AND the genny are temporary/short term. ie not a temporary genny supplying a fixed install via a changeover switch (disregarding general socket outlets and the 50mm buried depth scenarios)
(That is how it reads to me - obviously there is the EFLI/disconnection time to consider)
 
I'd say you are interpreting it correctly :wink:
It doesn't apply to a permanent fixed installation.
