Скачать или смотреть What is a Bi-Directional Device?

Are the RCDs you're installing keeping circuits safe—or are they a hidden hazard?
With the rise of solar PV panels, generators, EVs with V2G capabilities, and battery storage systems, uni-directional RCBOs may no longer be enough to ensure protection. Could your setup be at risk?

🔎 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ The key difference between uni-directional & bi-directional RCBOs
✅ How solar PV panels, EVs, and generators impact RCD performance
✅ Why incorrectly installed RCBOs can lead to dangerous failures
✅ The role of PCBs & solenoids in modern RCBOs
✅ Regulation 530.3.201: What the 18th Edition Amendment means for you
✅ How to select the right RCBO & avoid unnecessary costs
