AFDD's in Care Homes Discussion ThreadAFDD's in Care Homes Electrical Advice
I work in a care home. Recently we had some sockets installed. The Eaton DB's we have, will not accept AFDD's apparently, so the contractor fitted a AFDD in a metal module next to the DB.
I understand the reasoning for AFDD's in CH's, but one socket was for Sky Q equipment in a protective shaft, and cost us about £200. Our property is like a Village community with sleeping accommodation on ground floor with suites, first floor is care floor and second is more suites. So it falls into the regs, with both examples.
I need an outdoor socket installed for a small hoist, near the plant room, and some installed in a workshop, which is inside the main building. Is there any more guidance, or is just plan simple and they have to be installed. Guess we would need a conversation with our insurers if we didn't.
