don't use rcbos for TT

[mrloy99]

Manufactors instruction leaflet states {on schneider electric rcbo)
Do not use on installations that require double pole switching eg IT or TT.

Beats me why SP RCBO’s were ever made in the first place. Where’s the logic in sensing a N→E fault and breaking the L only?

The description in the link states disconnection of both line and neutral upon tripping.
Never heard of this brand before. Interesting price too ! I might bear them in mind for the future.

Yes, but it'll be just switching the neutral, not DP in the true sense... Still serves the purpose though... DP RCBO's will have protection in both poles...

SP+N is better than SP alone.

I’ve only got two RCBO’s in my flat, they’re coming out as soon as I get around to it.
I priced up Hager DP units, good job I was sat down when I saw the price. There’s bags of room in the board so a couple of MCB’s and a second RCD will be going in. It also means I can split the two rings between the two RCD’s. BTW it’s a 16[SUP]th[/SUP] board.

Before you ask, it’s how I found it when I moved in.
