Mains Electricity & Wiring
6.1 Mains electricity and wiring
The maximum current rating of your RPH is
dependent on whether it is fitted with gas and
mains electric powered appliances, or mains
electric powered appliances only. The maximum
is usually shown as the rating of the RCD
(Residual Current Device) in the consumer unit,
typically 40amp or 80amp.
Further to this, the electrical supply to your
RPH may be restricted so please check with
your park manager before using additional
appliances.
Within your RPH the socket outlets are wired
in radial circuits using 1.5mm 3 core flexi cable,
lighting is wired in radial circuits using 1.0mm
3 core flexi cable, and appliances are wired in
2.5mm or flexi 4.0mm cable.
The Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) or
Residual Current Device (RCD) serves as the
main (& emergency shut off) switch for your
RPH. It is a safety device designed to protect
you from the possibility of shocks that could
arise from a faulty power pack supply, faulty
appliance or a fault causing the current to run
to earth.
The RCD has been factory tested for correct
operation and should be tested each time you
switch on the mains supply or at least once a
month.
To do this:
• With the supply connected, switch RCD to ON.
• Press test button marked ‘T’.
•
The unit should now ‘trip off’ and should be
reset simply switching it on again.
If the unit does not ‘trip off’ do not use the mains
supply until the fault is corrected by consulting
either your park owner or a qualified electrician.
If the unit ‘trips off’, other than during test, again
do not attempt to use the mains supply as there
is a fault which needs expert attention.
WARNING: Never allow modifications
to appliances, electrical and LPG systems
except by a qualified Person.
We recommend the electrical installation is
inspected once a year by a qualified electrician
and a report on its condition obtained as
prescribed in the Regulations for Electrical
Installations, published by the Institute of
Electrical Engineers.
Common electric fault finding:
Symptom:
No mains electric working in the RPH:
• Is the RCD and miniature electric circuit
breakers (MCB) switched on?
• Is theRPH connected to park supply?
• Is the park supply switched on?
If a master override switch is fitted near the
entrance door, is this in the on position? (Note:
this switch would only affect lighting)
Symptom:
The RCD or MCBs trip out after the RPH is
switched on at the park supply.
• Disconnect appliances in the RPH and reset
MCBs.
• Turn off majority of lighting, then turn other
lighting back on after power is restored.
Symptom:
If the RCD and/or MCBs still trip out.
• There is a fault on the electrical circuit or the
circuit is overloaded. Consult your park owner
or qualified electrician before using mains
supply.
