BS 1363 socket for EV charger - what kind of RCD?

[Selfmade]

The requirement for a DC immune RCD is already in the 17th, it is just more defined in the 18th.

Yes - so type AC will not do, but that still leaves types A, F and B.

Think I may be getting somewhere with this: Type B DC Sensitive RCD | WYLEX - https://news.voltilink.co.uk/e-catalogue/brand/wylex/family/type-b-dc-sensitive-rcd . All I need to do now is find somewhere that sells them. Kinda dreading the price!

Who me? I thought I'd given all the info relevant to my question? And I don't see how you've arrived at 'try B' from knowing the system and location? From my reading of the regs the only thing that seems to affect the choice of A versus B type RCD is the level of DC residual current. Have I missed something? I do really appreciate your help, I'm just not sure I understand what you are saying and why?
