150mm from a corner goin up the wall. also within 150mm vertical or horizonal from a sockets etc ( e.g u can have a cable run up the side of a wall aslong as itz within 150mm with no protection and up/down/accross a wall where there is a socket/light switch etc with no protection)
if u need to go out of these areas then it must be protected and the conduit earthed.
Those are permitted zones Andrew, but topdog asked what is a safe zone. I don't think there are any. Even in the permitted zone you could hit a live with a screw and with no rcd it wouldn't be a safe zone.
You forgot the ceiling zone.
Yes your right, I should have said 'safer'.
Has anyone touched a live cable that was protected by a 30mA rcd? Do you feel a shock or does it disconnect so quick that you don't?
