18th Edition Wiring Regulations... Powerbreaker RCDs are slim & stylish - suitable for all installations
► Changes to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations suggest the use of socket RCDs in all public areas in addition to those in the Consumer Unit
► It suggests that using RCDs to isolate at the point of use avoids more nuisance up stream tripping - leading to power loss of an entire circuit ring and not just on the problem item.
► It is also noted that separate socket RCDs offer better fire protection then solely relying on the circuit board
