anyone know where to get a rccb auto recloser that can be set to 10 minutes or more?

Whenever RCCB/ELCB trips, it means something is not right in the circuit, and may require manual attention.

Auto-closed reset is defying the safety purpose of RCCB/ELCB.

Get a good Surge protection device and install b4 the RCCB / in your case B4 ELCB,
I install the American Brand more than 2 yrs ago, has never trip since, best part is their long unlimited warranty of more than 15 years, 1 to 1 exchange, i think Sine Tamer.
unfortunately, i loss the no. of contractor who install for me.

errr...
Surge protection and RCCB/ELCB are 2 different issue. sweat.gif

RCCB/ELCB trip is good thing to have actually (except malfunction of RCCB/ELCB, due to aging etc), which just show that it is function properly to indicate there is a problem in the wire system or electrical appliances, which prompt user to rectify it.
