"17 edition"consumer units still being sold.

hertzal123
After watching a webinar describing the dangers of using dual rcd cu,s with type AC rcd supplying dishwashers,induction hobs etc,

I was wondering why,more than 12months after 18th came into force,they are still for sale.Thanks for any opinions.

    I never refered to ev charging or metal enclosures,only induction ovens dishwashers etc,which may have an electronic

    speed control.The Napit webinar suggested the dc leakage fron the above can "blind" the type AC rcd from tripping

    on a normal earth fault.I referred to the cu as 18th edition cos to my knowledge,the 17th made no mention of overload protection

    for the rcds in a duel cu or the use of type A rcds in same.
