Type B rcd availability

Baldyhugh

Hi

would anyone know of a supplier where I could get my hands on a 100A 100ma type B double pole rcd? I need one to supply three variable speed inverters. I’ve done the usual google searches but can only find 30ma ones and only rated up to 63A. 
 

Thanks in advance

    Depending on the depth of pockets

    Schrack 100mA 4 Pole B type RCD looks like it might do the right sort of thing  also available in ‘bigger’ current and price tag . I've not used one - things a bit like it but not that.

    Why does the submain need 100mA protection - is the supply TT and it is armoured ? If soft cable I'd have expected 30mA or nothing.

    Do beware of   ‘B type’  RCBOs - the ‘B’ refers to the thermal MCB like part , the RCD is usually like an A or AC, so might be ‘blinded’ by DC.

    I assume you have checked with the makers that the B type is really what is needed given the eye-watering costs, you do not want to over specify.

    Mike.
