The possible exception would be some flats. TT installs have required RCD or ELCB protection on everything for a very long time, regardless of the nature of the loads. | |

I think it was a requirement when the previous owners rewired in the early 90s/late 80s (house was out in the sticks, so earthing may well have been TT) | |
