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.
A radial with only 8 sockets on it, maximum, and rated to 16A is safer
when abused. Some appliances can be only protected by a 32A mcb
on a ring when abused.
Even when the appliances all have 0.5mm2 flexes?
Do you strip your wires with a hacksaw too? Go back to plumbing, at least
you'll only get wet...
You lack common sense. I woudl let you near my house. There again I do all
my own.
