Discuss RCBO intermittent tripping advise?? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Why would a type D 'probably be non compliant in a lot of domestic situations'?There's your answer then, a D type is most unusual and probably non compliant in a lot of domestic situations, I expect the new RCBO serving the kitchen lights will have a 'B' tripping curve, if the customer doesn't agree to new LED lights a C type 10a RCBO might do the trick.

The D type MCBs were originally fitted to counteract the high inrush current and nuisance tripping with the old toroidal transformers I expect.
Why would a type D 'probably be non compliant in a lot of domestic situations'?
If the measured Zs is satisfactory.....and anyway the OP stated there was originally an RCD main switch which largely negates any OCPD Zs issues.
Hardly ever, doesn't mean they are likely to be non compliant though.How often have you seen type D MCBs in domestic installations ?
I would say a 6A D type MCB or RCBO would have a 50% (approx) chance of being non compliant in a domestic situation as the Zs would have to be max 1.46Ω (TT).Hardly ever, doesn't mean they are likely to be non compliant though.
