    Hi,just a quick question , i fit a good few submersible pumps in bored wells where i connect the control box from a local socket that would be fed through an rcd,over time an odd motor in the well will cause the rcd to trip and by taking the pump off the rcd and just leaving it on an mcb it will work away fine for years to follow with no problems,strictly speaking should such pumps be protected by rcds?

    Not sure about Ireland, but in the UK the answer would be yes.
