can anyone tell me the differance between b type and c type. also what are the main advantages of b type in a domestic installation?

B TYPE = FAST TRIPS AT 3 TO 5 TIMES IT'S NOMINAL SETTING.
C TYPE = FAST TRIPS AT 5 TO 10 TIMES IT'S NOMINAL SETTING.

B types are far safer in a home install, as the maximum earth loop resistances can be higher than the low ones required by a type C breaker often used in Commercial premises.
