    rcds and rcbs - confused

    OK, so what is it then? I have one earth bar, one neutral bar, one incomer and busbar with lighting circuits fed by rcbo's and another set and onther one under the control of an rcd main switch. All made by MEM. What does that make it? Other than a pain!

The lighting circuits all have rcbo units plus an mcb for the smoke detectors. The power circuits are protected by an...

    I have a problem. I have a split board with common earth and neutral bars. The incomer is just a normal switch but the power side is covered by an RCD. The lighting side has rcbo units for each circuit. It all looks a bit of a mess but appears sound other than that. I have added some outside...
