So you are saying one RCD protects the whole house? That's a pretty
stupid idea in addition to the fact it contravenes 16th edition
regulations.

It doesn't contravene BS7671, under certain circumstances, and a
standard slit load board has one RCD covering *some* circuits, not
all. I suggest you read up on plit load boards before talking more
********.

I've seen plenty of non-split-load CU's for sale complete with RCDs at
the likes of Screwfix (eg http://tinyurl.com/bb2ej); I understand it's
not a good idea to have all circuits protected by an RCD, but when/why
would it be actually against regs to fit one of these as a whole-house CU?
