Discuss Correct Type-S Upfront RCD for 3Ph TT System in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Yes, so long as the RCD has some form of 100A limiting there such as from the DNO fuses, or sum of down-stream OCPD.
What are your thoughts on placing the RCD prior to the meters?

Supply head > RCD > Meters > Switched Fuse > Sub main

I know that technically that's the meter companies side, however, I have little choice given the split of the three phases occurs before the meters. The other option would be to install 5 x 2 pole RCDs with 63Amp MCBs. No way the landlord would be willing to pay for that. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I don't know.

If it was some sort of BNO arrangement then I guess you would be entitled to putting a disconnecter of some sort before the split/distribution to the meter but I don't think this is the case you are discussing?

The other thought is why TT? It is purely historial reasons and now you get the DNO to make it a PME system to have a low impedance earth instead of the RCD?
