Proper use of RCBO's

[Sparkeylew]

Hey guys, Happy new Year :smiley2:

I qualified when the 16th edition regulations where in use and now they have changed to the 17th edition i'm having a little trouble on deciding whether i should use an Rcbo or a normal MBC for certain installations.

Is there any kind of quick reference guide out there that i can use to help me decide on what circuit breaker would be best for the job?

From what i have been reading so far it seams that basically everything needs to be protected by an RCBO or RCD some way or another... Help please :90:

How are you part of a scam with no 17th edition qual?

He’s conspicuous by his absence.

On any other given day a rant from him would have graced a thread like this!!

My guess is the ship's LSO gave the incoming aircraft a mandatory wave off, could be anything from wrong glide angle to a foul deck, the pilot has no choice in the matter.

I think I'd have fouled my deck after that! Daz
