I have a Schneider main panel with a C63 RCBO main breaker, I want to put a grounded system in my home and have questions on what secondary breakers to use for the grounded system and how to make it grounded, can single pole be used or do they all have to be two pole, very familiar with American home wiring but not sure on the power here, can anyone send a diagram of the main panel set up or explanation of how to do this.

 

Thank you for the assistance

You should be posting this to the electrical forum for expert advise.  You can report the post yourself and ask that it be moved.  And there are posted topics there that should help explain.

Was the Schneider box bought locally? It should have instructions, particularly on how to set up the MEN connection in the approved manner.

 

Thailand is 3-phase, 4-wire with a grounded neutral so single-pole MCBs are the correct units, 2-pole ones won't fit your unit anyway (or was it purchased in Europe or the Philippines?).

 

Have a read of this and the other pinned threads at the top of this forum.

 

EDIT The poster in the linked thread even shows a Schneider box :smile:

Can you post a photo of your box?

 

@Crossy has linked to a ThaiVisa post detailing the current wiring requirements for most Thai electrical connections. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for new electrical supplies. Building a home, read this!

 

Thailand Electrical can provide 220v Single Phase (L / N / Earth Ground) at 15 or 45 Amps, or 3-Phase (R / S / T / N / Earth Ground) if you have the need.  

 

But know that 'Grounding' makes up only 50% of the safety requirement. A correctly wired RCBO or Safe-T-Cut RCD, properly wired, is essential.

 

As for 'grounding', any appliance that has an Earth-Ground requirement just needs that third wire running, preferably, back to the CU Breaker Box Earth-Ground buss bar. Nothing specially done with secondary breakers.  If you are trying to do RCCB/RCBO as secondary breakers then those require an additional neutral wire in order to function.
