BEFORE I pull my hair out looking over a gazillion google results..... wondered if anyone here has come across a device that will do something like this....
Adjustable ELCB / RCM for multiple circuits using N number of individual CT coils, to then operate shunts to trip, but all based off one (reasonably small) control panel for all circuits.
The other events' people on here will instantly know what I'm on about but basically we often use large format mobile distribution units ('rubber box distro') which will typically have 400A inlets distributing to a variety of 125/63/32 size ceeform outlets, of which the larger ones we use adjustable RCD's for time/current. They often don't actually get properly checked or mis-set by other users because mostly they're just a fiddle of dip switches or broken rotary dials (that, and people are idiots...). If there was a way to be able to set all of them from one easy finger-punching place it would be so much better, and possibly even cheaper. Icing on the cake would be remote signalling alarms, too.
