Another uneventful day, another thrilling observation.....
Anyway, Having listened to the recent hype on some of the BG consumer units I decided to take a look around their website and have a look at some of their products. I couldn't help but notice their range of MCBs, RCD,s etc have nearly...
Hi there Guys,
I got good feedback on my last post and being a newbie sparks wanted some guidance on this one please.
Customer requires a new shower to be fitted. 10.5KW
There is an existing 6mm t+e in the loft, but i am going to upgrade this to 10mm and connect into the contactum DB....rcd side...
Hi, I will be upgrading a shower shortly. The existing unit is 7kW and I'm fitting a 9kW unit. Does anyone know where I can obtain a Contactum 40A MCB from. I can't find any supplier that stock the type on the photo (9040B). Or is there an equivalent that fits this CU ? (Contactum P12/80N)
I have a single phase domestic instal on friday and I need to replace the consumer unit. I notice on the TLC website they sell contactum stuff really cheap; RCBOs for £19, a split load cu with 2 80A RCDs for £46 and mcbs for £2.
Is this a really good deal or is contactum stuff really poor...
Last month I changed a consumer unit and all was well. Now neither of the RCD's are tripping correctly. I get either >50v or >40ms. Could this be 2 faulty RCD's? the make is Contactum and the elecsa guy I spoke to today didn't seem too keen on them. Idea's most welcome

Hi again, just considering whether I'm going crazy or I've got a duff RCBO. Perhaps someone will help me see the light either way. Quite prepared for the former!
Installed it yesterday and when I got to doing the certificate I couldn't get it to trip. It's one of the ones with no earth wire...
Hi folks, just a quick one. Title says it all really..
Anyone know for sure of the new Contactum RCBOs will fit the old (16th edition era) boards?
Thanks a lot
I've done some work in a house, tried to test it, but the rcd trips out when i do an earth loop and when i do rcd tests (at half, 1 and 5 times)
I bypassed the rcd to get a result for my earth loop test, but the rcd test is still a problem.I ordered a new rcd, fitted it, and I'm still getting...
Hi I have some Contactum MCB'S and an RCD, does any kind person know if they will fit in any other type CU?, They are all type b, or will i need to buy a contactum CU
Thanks
I have been given an order to upgrade a consumer in a house amongst other remedial works. The existing unit is a contactum and contains MCB`s which ideally I could swap for RCBO`s. However I cant get hold of contactum RCBO`s quick enougth and at the right price, so I was wondering if anyone knew...
