I have a Siemens RCCB 5 SM1312 25A 30mA and my Fan Assisted Cooker/Grill keeps triggering it. When I first switch on it is fine then after a minute or two the RCCB is triggered and cuts the power. Someone has told me to increase the relevant breaker from 25A to 32A. Could this be a solution...
hi all got a little kitchen refurb that im undertaking pretty simple stuff moving sockets and such. However upon looking at the DB which is quite an old MEM type. The main switch is a 80A 100mA elcb ( will include picture ). Without recommending a board change any suggestions on how i can...
Been out to a property to price up repair on a couple of little bits with an old wylex board which has a 100ma RCD main switch. If I was to fit an upfront 30ma rcd before the main board would it have to be in a metal enclosure, haven't needed to do this before and not sure if enclosure would...
Hi,
I am newly qualified and didn't really cover this scenario.
I am a little unsure, so some advice would be great.
I have an old installation that has a 6mm earth cable from the DNO TN-S to the consumer unit earth bar.
The consumer unit main switch is a combined 100A and 30mA switch.

Hi guys, can anyone advise if the WRS80/2 (the current version in Lifeline boards) is compatible with earlier Wylex boards from busbar and prong type/spacing perspectives?
I have a feeling that the board which requires a replacement has a busbar which is solid copper with half circles cut out...
Hi folks,
carrying out an EICR yesterday. Board is a split Wylex (main switch with the rcd covering half the board). All circuits are on the rcd side.
Problem I encountered was trying to take 'no trip' Zs readings, the rcd always trips. The meter (1520) is definitely on the correct setting...

Hello all!
I am working in a property with 3 old rewirable fuseboards, each fed from mcb's in a modern consumer unit at the incoming supply.
We want to change the 3 fuseboards to 17th ed RCD etc. However, as the 16mm T+E is less than 50mm in the wall I wonder whether I should protect each...
Evening all..
I have just been to quote for a bathroom extractor fan and a kitchen extractor fan. I was pretty sure I understood the RCD requirements but it gets a bit confusing sometimes!
The bathroom extractor will probably be 230V (could be ELV though) and all cables will be in trunking in...
Any opinions on replacing a 100a main switch with 30 ma TVs, I'll have to move the internal tails from the bottom off the rcd to the top I know but is there anything to say I can't? Or just use rcbos
