    federal electric RCBO

    Is there a breaker on the board you could use to feed an rcd in a separate enclosure ? Rcd would also need to not be type AC for the rcd characteristics, so even if you could find one to fit that board it might not be suitable anyway, same goes for many rcd sockets which would be your other...
