Three Phase RCD & MCB Wiring?

Please could somebody advise on the most cost effective procedure of wiring up RCDs & MCBs on a DIN Rail for independent circuit protection.  Tried Googling to no joy.  Plenty of Single Phase advice, images, videos.  If using 4 Pole MCBs & RCDs, would I be correct in assuming that similar to single phase, it's just a case of Busbar-ing the MCB Lives to the RCD Lives and taking the RCD to Neutral Bar?


Have seen diagrams (like below) where the Incoming L1, L2, L3 get split to separate DP MCBs, RCDs and SP MCBs for each phase.  Seems like a bit of a faff and a pricey option (3x DP MCBs + 3x RCDs + 3x SP MCBs) per circuit.


I have 3x Three Phase Circuits (13A, 40A, 48A) that I wish to protect independently with RCDs.


Thanks in advance!  Dan.

    I am sorry not the answer you want to hear but if you cannot afford the costs then you should not do it.


    The installation has to have 3 steps and they are design, construction and inspection and testing. The first step being the design. I am thinking from the questions you are asking that you do not meet the competence requirements of Regulation 16 of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. If your brewery is a place of work then you will be breaking the law carrying out the installation yourself.
