Crabtree starbreaker (shower install)

Bradley6969 · Aug 25, 2019

So further on from my last post regarding shower, not been there yet, it’s for my nan, these star breakers as you can see in picture, the RCD protecting 4 circuits, to protect the shower can I just take the 40A out already and move everything over 1 including RCD I’m sure there the ones that just push in?
Thanks

I have seen the busbars you can buy and they have the little red stopper I take it that’s for Neutral so can’t exactly move everything over 1

No things will not move over. You can replace the 40A with an rcbo as a new Starbreaker will fit but you may have issues with its height.

They do a compact range so you should be okay.

We had to get an RCBO for an old Starbreaker board (not so old as that) and whilst when we got it the design and livery was slightly different Crabtree confirmed to me it was compatible with the old design so chances are as Westward posted he new compact one will fit maybe a quick call to Crabtree Technical before ordering. As for can you move everything ver one no you can't as it is fixed where the RCD and MCB's sit it is not reconfigurable.
