MCB and RCD mix and match of makes 536.4.203

Stewart Mason
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are to mixing makes of MCB's and RCD's in consumer units. I went to a callout the other night and the culprit was a faulty 61008 RCD. To get the power back on I replaced the faulty Item with a different make of 61008 RCD. The next day I raised a job to have the right make of RCD fitted. It turns out the QS at work isn't concerned about the incorrect make of RCD and is more concerned about IP ratings being met. Am I right in wanting to fit the correct make of RCD?


What would you code this as on a EICR?

    WOW that seems like a major oversight of them not to use the redesign to make the breaker PHYSICALLY incompatible. I had no idea. I will bear this story in mind!
