Thanks for writing this and dont worry Im not gonna die <3 I trust myself that much to be safe and not die. I have multimeter and I was doing some simple wiring in school and at home. If I cant disconnect mains, Im not touching it, period. Im also thinking I should pay electritian for this work, but still want to know whats going on.
It was built this year, so everything is new, but still doesnt mean it was built by following any regulations. You know, I live in one of crappy countries on balkan...
I think my mains cable 3x2.5 mm2 goes from 16A switch (behind 40A RCD) to outdoor unit. Then 5 lead wire is going from outdoor to indoor unit. 3 of 5 cables are mains and ground afaik N+L+GND. If I go that route I should add one more (probably 10A as you said, but have to be checked) RCBO next to my indoor unit and connect mains from outdoor unit to RCBO, then connect AC and TV after RCBO? Sounds good, but it might require some creativity to fit everything inside or next to indoor unit.
Btw, my AC looks like its grounded. There are some pics (AC = klima at F9):

Edit: I said what I think how its connected by reading how it is usually connected, I never checked wiring myself. I just took pics few minutes a go. I need bit more research
