thanks for your message and yes indeed discrimination will be done via time delay. thanks again

of course your majesty. thanks for pointing that out🤣... it would have helped if you attempted to contribute and show your vast god like knowledge, as oppose to just post messages trying to make fun of others🤩 be proud of yourself

thanks for the reply and trying to help. Ex-pat but we use Malta Reg  - which are/were similar to the uk as far as I know (but things in the UK change fast compared to here and i dont keep track, no reason to do so actually) Residential electrical installations locally are very similar to one...

my questioning was because i'm not sure from where his assumption comes from. again I appreciate any comments and by all means keep on having fun if you are finding this amusing😘.  not sure whats so entertaining by replying just to belittle someone else questions 😜

i know you are trying to be funny and i appreciate the humor really.🤣 May you enlighten me what wrong with wiring  20 (or 20 million for what matters) apartments the same way? given that each apartment is virtually identical and with its own electrical meter thus each is a stand alone unit.💩

?? not sure if your message was a mistake? cant understand what you mean, sorry

thanks for your message.  yes indeed its frustrating. i actually have said components in hand but once i am sure the setup is good will need to buy more of them. i followed the manufacturer instructions and this reflects the original diagram. but you know, my believe was that surge protection...

thanks for the reply. RCBO's are a little expensive, especially when considering that what im trying to do will be multiplied by 20 (for 20 apartments) thanks for the insight, very appreciate that  

just a brief, my concern is the location of the components, for example: - should the position of the rcd be swapped with the relay? yes/no? why?  - is the spd location correct? -  is such setup useful, overkill?  - are any of the components useless given the current wiring  as per...

thanks for the reply. you look very experienced on the topic in question (otherwise probably you wouldn't have just replied for the fun of it), are you able to advise if the updated diagram below is correct?  (thanks a million )

yes right, the double Pole MCB is actually just the main switch, in my country most people call it inaccurately double pole mcb due to its resemblance to the mcb's  and i refereed it wrongly too  - my bad!

Keep up the humor ;)   Obviously I was referring to the part in the photo which is the subject of the question.  OBVIOUSLY there are other components in a consumer unit but when electricity come out of the utility meter, in MOST BASIC SETUPS it goes to a double pole MCB and then to an ELCB and...

thanks for the reply. I'm located in Malta, but originally from the UK and wiring in here is similar to the UK. I'm a qualified electrician. I have  diagrams but the problem is not the devices themselves but how to wire them properly together.  I'm quiet surprised i couldn't find said info much...

thx for the reply. basically im looking for something more than the typical home installation which normally consists of a "double pole mcb" followed by an "ELCB" so im trying to incorporate "surge protection" and an "over/under voltage replay/protector"  but im not sure where to place them in...

is the component's order correct?  if not any advise how improve it? thanks
