is an RCD similar to an ELCB?
At astrocamps, we often use powerboards in the field and that is exposed. is that considered risky?

It has got to be more risky outdoors - especially if dew is forming on equipment. UPS devices are becoming popular at astrocamps and I think a lot of people believe they are protected by the RCD's that the camp provides in the power distribution however this is probably not the case.
I believe RCD and ELCB are different names for the same device.
