Mainly on commercial lighting with twin and earth 1.5mm or 1mm on 6A and 10A type C breakers

On a test & inspection today, I came across an older Wylex split load board that had been modified to add RCD protection for all circuits (see photo). The main switch was replaced with an RCD (despite there being room to add the second RCD to the left of the main switch). So a fault (or RCD...
