No RCD/RCBO* has a 'functional earth fly lead'.

The white lead here ...

earth something in the switch...



It allows the RCBO to continue working and detect a LE fault in the
unlikely event of a missing/lost neutral.

RCD's do not have these fly leads.

And ******s oversleeve the flyleads with green/yellow. But then some
RCBO manufactures have a flylead with a green/yellow cable.

Can that fly lead have a DIY equivalent wired into a mini-RCBO? I can't see
from the image that Andy posted what it's connected to on the RCBO.
