Hi,
I know the basic differences between MCB, RCD and RCBO.
I was wandering what happens to a RCD if the current reaches the RCD's limit?
Why do RCDs have got ampere rating if they don't protect against over current?
In case of RCBO, how do I know at how much ampere they shut down?
Is it the ampere rating or is it the Short circuit level/Breaking Capacity?
I am planning on buying a new consumer unit or ask somebody to build a custom one and have it installed by an electrician.
If I buy/have build one that doesn't have MCBs but RCBOs only do I need RCD as well?
I know MCB + RCD could be cheaper but I don't mind spening some extra money if the result is better. Is it better?
