The UK wiring regulations are very specific when it comes to choosing RCD protection for electric vehicle charge points. Most electricians know about the need to avoid type AC RCDs. However, hidden within the regulations is the need for RCDs which isolate all live conductors. This is easy when selecting a regular RCD but causes some challenges when choosing to protect a circuit with an RCBO. An RCBO is a combination of RCD and MCB circuit protection. Most RCBOs only disconnect the line conductor. In this video, we explain the RCD requirements of BS7671 and the difference between single, double and single pole and switched neutral RCBOs. ================================ 00:00 Do you need to fit double pole RCD's for EV chargers? 00:36 What do the UK wiring regulations say? 01:00 What is a live conductor? 01:50 easier with split local RCD boards 2:15 RCBO identification using diagrams 3:44 Double Pole RCB with switched neutral 4:30 Double pole or switch neutral what is the difference? ================================= ================================ 🔦 More electrical Q&A videos from eFIXX 👉 https://www.efixx.co.uk/electricians-questions ================================ 🆕 FREE CPD Learn about new applications, regulations and best practices with our FREE CPD modules. - New modules are released every month, covering everything from surge protection to lighting. 👉http://hub.efixx.co.uk/CPD​ ================================ 📍SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL eFIXX helps electricians, electrical contractors, building services engineers, and electrical apprentices.
