There are no regulations that specify what an EHU used for camping should consist of, perhaps if there were there would not be so much confusion. 

There are are however regulations that apply to caravans.

Hi all

Reversed polarity and RCD's some cheaper plug in rcds only switch the live Phase lead if the polarity is reversed all that as happened is that the neutral as been disconnected.

I have mixed up the operational flaw of the cheaper plug in type with the proper mounted RCD.

Similarly when reading an article on RCD's they went on to trip times read carefully after the hoo haa here it does say MCB's.

Be safe buy a decent ehu froma reputable source
