What to install at the entrance to the apartment?
Hello! I need your consultation. The situation is this - in the entrance to the counter to the apartment there is a 50A automatic machine, it is planned to implement a dashboard with several group RCDs at 40A in the apartment. Tell me what to install at the entrance to the apartment (between group ouzo and a machine in the entrance)? Selective RCD, simple switch? I’m not an electrician myself, I'm trying to figure it out. Thank.
Hello! It is possible selective RCD, but why? For greater reliability? Maybe. You can put a fire protection RCD with a large differential current. Why several group RCDs with such a current, are those lines protected by individual automatic machines? Do you know that RCD only works on diftoki, but not on short-circuit currents and overloads?
If in order to de-energize the apartment for work, you can put a switch or another circuit breaker, but in the latter case it is unlikely that adequate selectivity can be achieved without losing the efficiency of the current-time characteristics.
