Here is a little cunumdrum that is probably quite simple. Uk network are coming to upgrade their fuse from a 60A to a 100A so that we can put in another mini consumer unit for a new shower and cooker... The existing consumer unit which serves the house is protected by an 80A RCD with 30mA trip, my question is, should we replace the RCD with a 100A 30mA one or is it satisfactory as the load will be split once the mini consumer unit has been installed? My understanding is the existing RCD can only handle a load of 80A and if the distributors cut out is 100A then we run the risk of burning out the RCD.
