Discuss EIC additional circuit main switch/switch-fuse/circuit breaker/RCD in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

When doing an EIC for an additional circuit (which only covers that circuit), does the 'main switch/switch-fuse/circuit-breaker/RCD' section refer to:
a) the MCB you're adding for the new circuit
b) the existing main switch (whatever it is) for that board
c) [if the DB the circuit is added to is a sub main fed from another DB] the breaker supplying the sub main

And, in the case of (c) would the 'supply protective device' under 'supply characteristics and earthing arrangements' still be the DNO's main fuse, or would it become the breaker supplying the sub main?
 
TL;DR
What does 'main switch/switch-fuse/circuit-breaker/RCD' on an EIC refer to?
The Main Switch is the main switch for the installation. Supply Protective Device is the DNO device so probably NV.
