Discuss RCCB as main switch? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Where does it say that ???
I would use an MCB as I believe there would be a level of RCD protection.Should this question not be on the Screwfix forum ?
You would use a MCB. But do you know why ?

Obviously not the best situation as it would take out the whole consumer unit.
I've also read the affects of having an RCBO and RCD/RCCB together.
If I'm wrong, could you please explain?
Much appreciated

Can you tell bt the front on an RCD if it is time delayed??

Thank you.It will have a 'S' in a square.
But it if this is installed this will not give your circuit appropriate RCD protection.
whole DB change is what I would recommend.
Noob as you are an apprentice should you be doing this work?Thank you.
So if the customer would not pay for that, and it was a time delayed rccb, could a new circuit not have an rcbo so it is protected?
I'm just getting a head start of the situation so I look good ☺Noob as you are an apprentice should you be doing this work?

There should not be a 'front end' RCD installed at all. Circuits should be separated so that if a fault occurs the whole installation does not trip.
Not even seen the job and pushing for a db change?
Your crystal ball is obviously working better than mine! I can't quite see what the earthing system is or what rating that up front RCD is.
yup, I was thinking the same, I recommend all old aged pensioners in his area bolt their doors tight.Not even seen the job and pushing for a db change?
As I posted before, It may be a 30ma RCD upfront already, he has not stated rating.Yes you will need to RCBO it. If the main is time delayed you will achieve the required discrimination between the RCBO & the RCCB.
