[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 502896, member: 250"] The "simple" difference you have to ask yourself is.... Can the "device" disconnect the supply automatically upon detection of either Overload or Leakage....? OR... can it only disconnect the power following manual operation of the switch?? IF it is manual only it CANNOT be an MCB / RCD / RCBO etc.. etc.. Not that complicated really???? :C AND just to add.... If someone comes on here asking "basic" questions about devices wrongly described... the general perception is that "A.N. Other" is working outside of their scope and ability... So responses may be less than forthcoming as anyone working outside of their experience could be a danger to themselves and others local to the supply in question., Guinness [/QUOTE]
