AI diagnostics could end up doing away with the electrician completely and just the need for a fitter to correct the fault already highlighted by the AI.

Could be eventually the boards will refuse to re-energize the circuits unless you've done(or paid for) what the manufacturer saysAI diagnostics could end up doing away with the electrician completely and just the need for a fitter to correct the fault already highlighted by the AI.
Well that is essentially how main dealer garages work.AI diagnostics could end up doing away with the electrician completely and just the need for a fitter to correct the fault already highlighted by the AI.
That slipped my mind... Ok , we all spend a fortune on another new MFT !!!One of the big plus-points of the Hager AFDD is the bluetooth diagnostics and/or firmware updates for the devices. If something has occasional trips you really will struggle to get to the bottom of it as no MFT (to my knowledge) offer any independent means of testing an AFDD - we are expected to take the self-test as gospel.

You've conjured up an image that we'll turn up, plug a scanner into the CU, and see

And have the audacity to use a different manufacturers product in their board.Could be eventually the boards will refuse to re-energize the circuits unless you've done(or paid for) what the manufacturer says
@nicebutdim Still looking for a single module RCBO that monitors both live and neutral got a link to one? They all seem to be line monitoring only and just switch's the neutral whin the line trips.
Even those manufacturers whose wares have traditionally been aimed at the continental European market are moving to single module RCBOs which switch both
European RCBO's I have used and come across monitor both the live and neutral and are dual module, the regulations in Europe would not allow single module in France or Germany.
The dual module/pole Hager RCBO's I have in my UK board sense both line and neutral, unfortunately due to the silly size board installed I have had to resort to single module line only sensing RCBO's for the lighting.
I think some EU countries used to have two L out of a 3P set, so no neutral as such, or maybe just poor enforcement of polarity (which the UK has had for a long time, well before 13A plugs in the 1940s), so you would need OCPD in both paths.There must be a reason for an insistence on true DP protection, but it's not immediately obvious to me.
Listed by a wholesaler as 2 pole, but not by Hager.These Hager RCBO's are listed as two Pole: Electrical Wholesaler - Hager 2 Pole 6kA B-10A 30mA A Class RCBO AD910J -

You mean switching the line ?Yes because electrical supplies in those countries need protection in both poles.
Many years ago double pole protection was required in the UK when the N-E connection was not necessarily reliable, but now our electricity supplies have the neutral reliably connected to earth and so we only need protection in the line.
That's what I was wondering. Essentially our single module 1P+N RCBO does exactly the same as a 2 module device?You mean switching the line ?
That's all that's needed
