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.

Regards,Hz

If you have a look to see what is gone on mainland Europe you will find they’re the equivalent of a dual RCD consumer unit with one split protected by a type AC RCD supplying lighting etc and the other with a type A supplying the EV charger, hob and washing machine.

Is it typical the traditional British trait of going over the top showing through with type A RCDs being used for all circuits?
