Single width RCBOs that open the neutral?

crossy
Hi All.


I need to source some 16A/30mA RCBOs, of course the application is somewhat, er, compact so they need to be single width (DIN). The client is also insisting that they open the neutral (for reliability on N-E faults).


I've drawn a blank on searching (my Google skills are somewhat lacking), are any of the major manufacturers doing these devices?


Cheers

    PS but too late for a quick edit.

      a link   where folk have spotted that these new RCBOs that are type A have the internal electronics in wired L-N, unsurprisingly.

    So for anyone in the habit of installing MCBs onto a live board (wot me ? never.. no),  when fitting these RCBOs should wire in the neutral side first, as if not the flying blue tail will become semi-live as soon as the input is on the bus-bar. 

    As I know you are posting from a rather less EAWR  and H & S dominated part of the planet than here in  the UK, and such practices as live working may be more common, I thought I ought to mention it, may save someone from getting a shock.
