Hi, I am fitting a power shower, which needs protecting by a 30mA RCD, the main switch in our cu is a 80A 30mA RCCB, (which covers the whole board), are these the same or do I need to change it for a RCD.
Been there, and can confirm that's it's definitelyannoying!Fancy a trip soaking wet and naked in the dark to sort it?
which is why someone decided split load, with lights not RCD protected was betterPaul_C said:RCCB = Residual Current Circuit Breaker
RCD = Residual Current Device
The latter is just the newer term for the former, and an example of a pointless name change which actually becomes less descriptive of the device.

I realise that this is an old thread, however this statement is quite simply wholly and completely untrue, false and incorrect.RCCB = Residual Current Circuit Breaker
RCD = Residual Current Device

I stated that I realised the thread was old, and in my defence I only read it because it showed as a link under similar threads for a currently active one. It's the appalling forum software to blame, but falsehoods should be corrected.
