Hello,
I am currently exchanging the kitchen and notice that despite the protective conductor in the stove connection box, the RCD does not trip and the stove box still has power even when the RCD is off.
A look into the box shows:
The three phases to the 3x16A fuses go directly from above at the RCD to the fuses, not from below, so they are still before the RCD.
Two questions about this: why was it done this way?
Is it now sufficient to simply connect the three fuses downward to the RCD?

Thanks
