RCBO
- Thread starter whyme!
- Start date
True. However, one small downside of RCBOs, as far as fault-finding is concerned, is that no standard ones give any indication of whether over-current or residual current (i.e. the 'MCB' and 'RCD' functionalities respectively) has caused a trip. Hence, whilst is is very helpful to know for sure what circuit is causing the problem, a bit of investigation may be required to determine the nature of the fault.

John, don't go throwing a spanner in the works now i bought it
Never mind the technicalities, it looks good !

It's not really a spanner, merely a reminder of the fact that few things have all 'upsides' and no 'downsides' at all. However, in this case I think most people would agree that, on balance, having all RCBOs is more desirable, other than in terms of cost.John, don't go throwing a spanner in the works now i bought it
