A high current device on A draws some current. A small proportion of the

Scratch that! I'm talking ********!

It won't take out RCBO B, will it. However, it will still have an
unnecessary earth fault, which could be detected by a 100mA device further
up.

This one makes more sense.
I think that's what I said originally!! ;-)
