The RCD size is interesting, my DNO fuse is 60 amp, so if I had a CU with a 60 amp RCD with over 60 worth of MCB's on in, and the incoming fuse ruptured, you are saying the DNO would not upgrade the fuse?
As to FuseBox and SPD mine did have one fitted, I could have elected not to have it, but as standard it was included, it was two module wide. The only thing I would complain about was the packets for the RCBO's were clearly marked type B, but after fitting found because of the
sign actually type AC, and there was nothing on the packaging to say type AC curve B, the job had been completed before I realised the error. Did not fit the box myself, so never bothered opening a box.
But looking at averts for CU and RCBO's it seems very often it is not listed when RCBO is only type AC, and not found a single modular width RCBO in any make better than type A, which although pod point do make a version of electric car charging point suitable for type A, most need a type better than type A so there is a problem with all RCBO CU when looking at electric car charging.
Pod Point Solo Unit Installation Guide said:
As of the 1st January 2019 either a Type B RCD must be used or a Type A with 6mA DC protection included in the Pod-Point (see detail on packaging to determine what protection is required), Important note: A DC leakage fault in the vehicle may “blind” a type “AC” RCD and render it ineffective, never feed any EVSE from an existing upstream Type “AC” RCD.
Personally I feel using all RCBO's should some thing be fitted which does stop the RCD part working, then at least it is only that circuit effected.
