I'd like your opinion on something guys.
Current Regs/Standards here in NZ, require that only newly installed circuits in Domestic places be RCD protected.
Now I've seen in the last week or so, some things that were installed before the Regs changed.
One instance was in a kitchen where two socket-outlets were installed within 2ft of a sink with no RCD on them.
I would argue that that circuit should have been RCD protected regardless of when it was installed.
I've seen a lot of bathroom heaters installed without RCD protection on them too, before the Regs changed, metal body and within arm's reach.
What's your opinion?.
The requirement for RCD protection should be retrospect, IMO, no matter when the installation occured.
