I'm a home owner with basic electrical knowledge; I needed my electrics 'brought up to code' in order to have an EV charger installed about 18 months ago. The main fuse was upgraded, a smart meter installed and a new consumer unit installed (also the garage consumer unit was also replaced) . So I have a consumer unit populated with RCBOs except for 1x MCB which supplies the consumer unit in the garage, is the correct or should it be 'protected' by an RCBO?
The reason I'm asking is because another electrician has recently done some work and said that it should be an RCBO instead and not an MCB. I'm on a TT earthing system if this has any baring on the situation.
Any advice would be appreciated.
