Assuming the definition of "kitchen electrics" to include:
- fused spur for under-unit lighting
- ring sockets for dish washer, washing machine, fridge, kettle, etc.
- separate 30A circuit for cooker/hob
Then current IEE regulations do not require these circuits to be retrospectively fitted with RCD protection in the event that a kitchen be modernised in an older property with a fused (i.e. non-mcb protected) consumer unit.
True or false?
If false, please quote IEE regulation which requires RCDs to protect these circuits.
