"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.

    In terms of costs, a Type A RCBO can now be had for around £12+VAT from CPFUSEBOX, so no excuses there on a costs basis. These are even cheaper than a Hager or Wylex branded Type AC item.

    About a year ago, I paid just over £100 for a Chint Type B 2 pole 80A RCD for a GSHP set up as recommended by the heat pump manufacturer.

    Hager wanted around £300+ for the same item, and Dpoeke wanted £700!


    Perhaps a better way of looking at it might be - Is having a type AC RCD worse then having no RCD at all?
