Our Voltimum Experts answer your questions on a daily basis in our Technical Expertise area. This Question of the Day, concerning a fuseboard and necessary re-wiring, is answered by the ECA:
Question: We are to replace a fuseboard in a property that was re-wired in the 1980s. Can we still use a split-load fuseboard? If so, would the lighting circuits have to be RCD protected?
Answer: Only if the fuseboard needs replacing because of damage (such as by overheating etc), or at the owner's request. In such cases, yes, then lighting circuits would need to be on RCD protection.
