Where are you located?
Shopee got 10ma RCD
[attachmentid=10426833]

M using ABB 10ma 25A RCD for the 10mA leakage protection coupled with B16 MCB for the overload protection at 16A.
The RCD is not meant for overload protection - for that you need a MCB. In other words you cannot have the RCD as standalone.
This setup consumes 3 slots in the DIN rail.

RCBOs combine this into one package (leakage protection + overload protection) into one slot single unit but it costs more.

[attachmentid=10426835]

At full load max heat (3300W heater) it consumes 13.77A, just under the 16A capacity of the MCB (86%).
Cable is 2.5mm stiff wire installed by developer + 50cm short length of flexible 3 core Fajar Cable installed by me.

Do note that you might need to use a bigger MCB if you have a >3.3kW heater (nowadays seems like quite a lot of 3.6 / 4.8kW models)

Actually I'm looking for the box instead and I'm located at PJ
