Are Danson consumer units and RCBO's ok?

Dave OCD said:

I haven't yet heard of them and they may well be fine. But I'll probably stick with Fusebox as they seem very good quality for the money and I haven't had any problems at all. As we all know you get what you pay for.

I am in the habit of fitting 'Fusebox' consumer units. However, I notice that Danson are even cheaper.

Has anyone fitted them? Are they acceptable quality? Any problems with the RCBO's?

If they are 'Chint' like quality then I would rather avoid them. Chint are the only RCD's I have ever come across that are faulty.

I hope that failed due to an overload somewhere and not a design or manufacturing flaw…

I knew there was a reason I used the insulated handle of a screwdriver to press an RCD test button…..

It failed when we pressed the test button, no signs of wear and tear etc.

What was the load passing through it at the time you tested it?

Only a little (lights on that side)

Do they have a defined supply/load side? Just wondering if the circuit trips and overheats as the "load" side was not disconnected as it was wired to feed it.
