I'm a little puzzled - you want to use RCBO's and then you mention nuisance tripping.

As a spark, by installing a RCBO board you have by passed a lot of the nuisance tripping issues associated with a dual board and thus your job is done.

As for having 1 big socket circuit - well so many installs are like this so move on.

Cheers Murdoch,

I have moved on, just felt the burning desire to get things off my chest about VERY EXPERIENCED righteous dinosaurs trying to MAINTAIN STANDARDS and belittle posters rather than answer the question asked.

I'm an happy spark who will always advise my customers about potential issues rather than do the job take the money and get away.

Time to mow the lawn then a couple of jars before and during the game tonight.

Enjoy:coolgleamA::smilewinkgrin:

Hi Guys,


Just been to quote for a consumer unit change.


Bonding is good, Zs is good, Seven circuits:


Shower, no problems foreseen.


Cooker, no problems foreseen.


All Sockets main house on one Ring, I am not comfortable with one 32A RCBO protecting sockets in kitchen, upstairs and downstairs (20 in total). I have advised that at least the kitchen needs to be on its own circuit.


Garage conversion separate Ring, no problems foreseen.


All lights main house on one radial (7 in total), obviously not upto current regs but not an issue in terms of load.


Garage conversion lights, no problems foreseen.


Alarm same circuit, no problems foreseen.


Unfortunately couple don’t want to pay for the extra work or disturb the decorative state. Replacing the current re-wirable bakerlite board with a fully populated RCBO board would obviously make the whole installation much safer.


Would I be wrong to connect the main house ring to the new board as it stands?


Comments/advice would be much appreciated.


Cheers

Z's in plural (ie:both Ze and Zs). apologies for missing the apostrophe.

It's a shame that your reduced to picking up my grammar now.

I think you may be telling a porky sir... If you meant Z's, you would have put Z's ARE. You put IS so I think you did mean Zs.... Which is just absolutely appalling MB.... give up this career at once!!!!

Would I be correct in thinking that you belong in that camp then Murdoch.

My standards come from the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations not those who denigrate it and then profess to know everything.
