Double pole RCBOs in caravan site

lyledunn

I have a caravan site of around 150 static vans plus 20 touring pitches. Each caravan is supplied from a group pillar via an individual 30mA RCBO but it is single pole. Non compliant, yes, but if you had to call the risk, where would you place it?

    How confident are you that every park home has a double 30 mA RCD upfront of every circuit within them?

    Is there a higher rated double pole RCD upfront of the group pillar?

    I am not confident nor do I think that I should place any reliance on such devices being operational. Some of the distribution circuits do have 300mA S Type devices. A neutral to earth fault left in one van could raise touch voltage to ground on other vans due to connected load. Kids, bare feet, hoses, makes me very uncomfortable about evaluating the risk as tolerable.
