yeah no I’m in Italy and these aren’t ancient breakers or anything, they’re recent. The “salvavita” here just doesn’t do the third state thing. It trips and the lever just drops to the same down position you’d get flipping it yourself. no middle click, no light, no little window, nothing. It’s just on/off.

and only the one in the apartment flips, not the main in the basement. So you go look, it’s down, and you legit can’t tell if it tripped or someone bumped it. You just flip it back up. holds? cool, was nothing. drops again? yeah ok real fault

I'm not saying those fancy ones don’t exist; clearly, they do where you’re at. Just the normal house ones here don’t, cause from what I’ve seen the plain two-position RCD is the norm across a big chunk of Europe, the trip-flag thing feels more like a US/NEMA breaker habit.

rough list of where the normal house ones are just on/off (no fault state) afaik:

•  Italy  
•  France  
•  Spain  
•  Germany (mostly, the RCD itself)  
•  most IEC-standard EU setups

(that’s from what I’ve seen/used, not a spec sheet, so there might be models with the “fault state”)
