Just a tip on buying a new one Dave. Try to get one to BS7288:2016

not old stock that is to BS7288:1990.

Is there a significant difference?

Donno, but having read other responses I'm very confused.





What is this additional "protection" that a 2016 compliant socket
based RCD requires? Overload or another RCD? If the latter what
happend to discrimination over which one trips first?



I think it just comes down to BS7288 not being listed in the regs.

I believe the new 2016 version has a better current breaking capacity.
