Afternoon everyone, I have a quick question about the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Charger?
Does it require Type A 30MA RCD protection or not.
Only because the Wall Connector features built-in RCD Type A + DC 6mA. I know we should be installing Type A 30mA protection however we also work with what the manual states to along with BS7671.

And the manual states:
“Wall Connector includes GCI integrated protection. Do not install GFCI Circuit breaker”

Tell me what you guys think.

Earth Arrangement: TNCS
Own dedicated fuseboard integrated with SPD.
 
What if the Tesla charger develops a fault and get changed to another make of charge point?
Isn’t it better to just put in the type A rcd anyway?

The manual speaks American? (GCI/ GFCI)?
 
I've never found out with the Tesla gen 3 whether it an actual RCD that is built in, or an electronic RDC-DD. The consensus on the latter seems to be that they don't comply (on their own), partly because a power cycle resets them.
Also, just wondering, does that charger have open pen protection built in?
