If there is little risk of a "hot" neutral then that is true. You get the full isolation for testing and selectivity with any up-stream RCD protection for N-E faults.You mean switching the line ?
That's all that's needed
However, if you do get a hot N situation then you rely on the RCD action for tripping, and that is far slower than the usual magnetic part of the MCB side of things. Also most SP+N type devices only have the arc-chute in the L side so a high energy N current fault might total the device, etc.
