Discuss Main switch & Rcbo’s in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Main switch offer double pole isolation. RCBO single? (Maybe)

Also RCBO is the weak spot, it can fail over time and need replaced. Easier done with a local isolation point than upstream where it might serve several units.

Am I not getting the gist of this?
