RCBO's in France are rare so they where bought in the UK from an Irish Wholesaler this meant they where the reverse of the norm for France having the neutral and phase out at the bottom and supply at the top, in a row of MCB's off an RCD meant wiring them individually, they where also on different Phase's for the white goods in the Bathroom. 😱
