Key Facts
Caravans
● every caravan pitch must have at
least one 16A industrial socket
● each socket must have RCD and
overcurrent protection
● IEE Regulations 708. The caravan motor caravan must provided with mains isolating
switch and RCD break all live conductors (Regulations 721.1.
Each socket outlet must provided with individual overcurrent protec-
tion and individual residual current circuit breaker with rated tripping
current 30mA (IEE Regulations 708. These requirements are shown
in Fig.1). The dis-
tance between the caravan connector and the site socket outlet must be
not more than 20m (Regulation 708.3. The conductors must supported horizontal runs at
least every 25cm and the metalwork the caravan and chassis must be
bonded with 4.40.553.1.5mm2
or detailed Table 721.
The caravan should connected the pitch socket outlet means a
flexible cable, not longer than 25m, and having minimum cross-sectional
area 2.13). 14.1)
