FAQs
When should I use an RCD upgrade unit?
Use when an older consumer unit doesn’t have built-in RCD protection, or when extending circuits that require standalone residual current protection.
Is this enclosure weatherproof?
No – it is for indoor use only. For outdoor applications, see our IP65 RCD enclosures.
Can I get different ratings?
Yes – available in 40A, 63A, 80A, and 100A versions to match your system load requirements.
