Type B or C RCBO

[La Poste]

Greetings.

Friend of mine has a fridge freezer and a standing freezer that need RCBO protection.

Both these appliances run off the same socket which is a separate radial so easy to protect as it will only be these two items on this one particular circuit.

I am not sure of the starting current of these appliances and so was wondering whether to fit a type B or type C 16 Amp RCBO.

What do you think?

Thanks a lot.

I agree, I also like the idea of putting special plugs on the equipment and a special socket that will only work with these plugs.

But for overall safety I think I will opt for the circuit with its own RCBO feeding just this socket and leave it at that.

Or cut plug off and fit a fused spur!!

Yes that is the best idea, make it fixed equipment and have no socket at all.

It still leaves the problem of the damp though, best to RCBO it IMHO.
