    Which RCBO fits this merlin gerlin multi 9 board?

    The board in the picture below has 2 x RCBO's in it, they look like matches so I'm guessing schneider is the new merlin gerlin and that these RCBO's are a perfect fit? However, Schneider seem to do other RCBO's. Easy9, acti9 and others. The Acti9 looks like it may fit this board but it is more...

    Bungalow board change

    Have had an estimate accepted for a CU change in a 1980s bungalow. I based the estimate mainly on an EICR which was carried out on the property by another spark last summer, plus I had a quick look at the existing board, meter, and bonding. The EICR has all circuits listed as ref method C...

    Will modern mini Hagar RCBO's fit this older Hagar board?

    It's a long shot, but do the mini hagar RCBO's fit this board? It's too small to fit standard RCBO's in, even if they lined up on the bus bar. Just trying to give an alternative to a new board to the customer! Cheers all ?

    will this newlec rcbo fit this newlec board?

    I need to get 30mA RCD protection to a new circuit I am putting on this consumer unit. I didn't take the cover off so I am not sure if there will be spare ways on the RCD side of it (wish I had checked!). It looks likely that there would be space, does anyone know if the RCD side of this board...

    Sockets tripping after board upgrade - should have been rewired

    After updating a consumer unit, from an old rewireable fuse board, one of the socket circuits is tripping when under load. The property should have been rewired as the installation is so dated but the project manager and client didn't want to rewire it. The supply to the flat is approximately...

    Anyone got a lid for a 14 module Steeple board?

    Before I tell a landlord that their CU needs replacing due to a snapped screw recess (that's how I found it but I know I'm going to be blamed for this), does anyone have a lid for a 14 module Steeple CU (rebranded GE E series)? I thought about Araldite but I can't convince myself that is...
