My war against dual rcd boards

As each (RCD) Residual Current Device must not have more than 30% leakage current on it.
It's hard to see how dual (RCD) Residual Current Device boards can be fitted at all these days.
i come across so many dual rcd boards with solar, evse and heat pumps on them, these have all been recently installed.
i wonder if BS7671 should state: Dual (RCD) Residual Current Device boards shall not be fitted, unless it can be shown (and documented) that they are suitable for the combined leakage currents expected .
otherwise developers will keep specifying them and i will have keep educating them on the many reasons a type A rcd should not be shared with other equipment!.
maybe manuafactuers instructions should also state : not suitable for a shared rcd, for certain equipment.

  • We don't suffer unwanted tripping in our house. It's a split-load board. Standing leakage for the whole installation is around 7-9 mA. We have fairly modern appliances, lots of electronic goodies ... BUT we don't yet have EV charging and solar PV.
