The small ones often do not have the functional earth fly lead.

No RCD/RCBOÂ* 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.



Glad you came along Adam!
