RCCB as main switch?

[Noob2013]

Hi all,

I have been to a property where the tails come out of the meter and into an RCCB which then feeds the main switch of the consumer unit. All circuits are protected by MCBs.

If I'm adding a new circuit, is it best put in an RCBO instead of an MCB?

Thanks

I disagree. IF and I say IF the installation has bonding and a 30mA RCD then why would a new CU be needed? Sure offer the client 2 choices but saying it HAS to be changed is a misrepresentation of the regs.

Just saying.

I promise I never meant that. I cannot be bothered to trail through all my posts but I am sure I never said that.

Maybe I am spoiled in my industry because if we quote it we get it. I would say that makes me trusted. Not a rip off merchant.

Agreed and interoperated incorrectly in my view. I think the reg is crystal clear and mentions nothing about RCDs or OCPDs.

I think,my friend,the first is the reason you believe the second,to be true...:icon12:
