Maybe you could explain what these are and why it matters. I am even curious myself.

Help!!!!What breaker are you referring to? What does it feed?
Stan, I assume by RCD he meant residual-current device, which is known here as a GFCI. MCB is miniature circuit breaker, not used in the US for residential applications.
