Default Is an RCBO an adequate replacement for an isolator?

And this is lecturing people on electricity. Amazing. The man is a
walking fire hazard.


Not really - we have enough braincells in this house to cope with a sub
optimal system for a couple of weeks.

The only real hazard is tripping over leads. That's why you have fusing
designed to suit the characteristics of the cables, exactly so you cannot
overheat them dangerously in the event of overload. Unless you've been
rewiring your fuse carriers with old hacksaw blades...
