Default Is an RCBO an adequate replacement for an isolator?

For a ring to safely work it needs the correct fuse in the plug.


That would be equally true of a radial that wasn't dedicated, and the
overcurrent protection set accordingly, to a single appliance or class of
appliance. In the most extreme case, a 32A radial is a "standard circuit",
though rare due to being not so practical to implement.
