Why change from AC to A rating?

The wiring regulations BS7671:2018 AMD 2 (2022) Issued March 2022, states that RCD Type AC can only be used when the load current contains no known DC components. Therefore it is advisable for the more recent A rated RCDs be used wherever the AC supply is converted by the appliance, to the required DC level for the internal operation of the electronic control components, in such as IT equipment, multimedia, washing machines and lighting controls.
