General RCD Instructions

The RCD should form part of a 30A ring main or terminate a spur

off a 30A ring main. The cable connecting to the supply to the RCD

should be either: 2 x 2.5 sq mm for the ring main or 1 x 2.5 sq mm

for the spur.

TFP10WL only – Fit the appropriate BS1362 fuse to suit the load

appliance to be connected.

The cable connecting the load appliance (spur only) should be rated

according to the fuse fitted to the connection unit.

Strip sleeving and insulation and cut wires as required for the

appliance cable. Tighten the screw terminals onto the exposed wires

maintaining the correct polarity, then fit the cable into the cable

clamp groove and tighten down the clamp box to retain the cable.

All RCDs – Ensure that there is sufficient length of the supply cable

tail(s) to enable easy wiring. Strip sleeving and insulation and cut

wires as required. Tighten the screw terminals onto the exposed

wires maintaining correct polarity and offer the unit up to the wall

box, forming the cable as required. Screw RCD to wall box and

tighten sufficiently to hold in place. Do not over tighten.

Note: with some makes of BS4662 boxes it will be necessary to bend

back the upper and lower fixing lugs to enable the RCD to be fitted.
