Okay.
Here is the latest version of the Timeguard BS8277:2016 RCD connection unit
RCD Fused Connection Unit for additional protection against electric shocks and fire risk. The unit will remain latched if the power supply is tripped.
- Provides additional protection against the dangers of electrocution.
- Eliminates the need for plug-in residual current circuit breakers.
- Protects appliances from possible fire hazard.
- Extra fast action – trips out within 40 milliseconds (BS7288).
- Latching for continuous operation after supply interruption.
- Disconnects both Live and Neutral connections leaving Earth connection intact.
I am sure you can see what I am about to point out, that it states twice that the device provides additional protection.
I think it is acceptable to say that anyone other than an electrical engineer that would be additional protection as referred to be BS7671:2018.
Is it additional protection, but not as we know it?
