Of course I know what an rcd does and im sure I know what an rccd does-both offer residual current deection-right?

But what is the difference? I have rccd fitted to my cu, which appear to be 3 pole each covering 3 circuits.

Clarification would be great.

Nothing different in them except their names. RCCB is Residual Current Circuit Breaker. Just an older term for essentially the same device. (Covering myself in titantium waiting to get shot down here now) :p RCD being the same that is. :coat

rcd and rccd are 61008 which donot have overcurrent protection even though it may still have an amperage rating written on it, unlike an rcbo 61009 which does

 
Yeah I appreciate an rcbo is different and can be used instead of an rcd and mcb-just wasnt sure about rccd or rcd.
