Are we talking the same thing here?
There are separate fuse trips for almost every circuit. The box is mostly full of those. But have you really got all those RCDs (sorry ! wrong name by me. I am used to calling them ELCBs) Alan and Lawrence?
Here is a picture that may show enough detail of mine:
Sparks answer to the freezer going off was "Well, you are no worse off than when the whole house was on one RCD". This was a separate box before the old fuse panel, fitted by me but connected in by the electricity board. But the point is to make it better than the old installation. To me combining more circuits (logically of course) to allow more RCDs does make sense. But I guess I am stuck with how it is with 3 (if he turns up today as he said he would ?).
