The power required is not for medical equipment… it’s for a light and a heater.
The defib itself is self contained battery powered.

I think to cover my --- I will put it on an RCBO, if it trips out I will then consider an MCB.

Me thinks this is being over thought. As @davesparks suggests in #5 this is the correct method to follow. Something which may get damp needs to be installed to prevent this and not compensate by fitting an RCD which is not a solution.

I'm aware of 3 defibs local to me that have been vandalised over the years, doors kicked off etc, leaving the heaters and guts exposed, so whenever i do them i have an rcd.

Most instructions, including the one linked to earlier, ask for rcd protection… so that’s the answer in this particular instance.
Whether regs demand it or not, we must take manufacturers instructions into considoration.
