    Small CU with RCBO "bundle"

    Being a tad lazy but have just looked at a 4 way board change. Seems a bit silly to install a 3 + 4 way dual RCD board and I don't like the thought of a single RCD front end either. It made me wonder if there are any CU's on the market with a RCBO "bundle", say 2 x 32A, 1 x 16A and 1 x 6A...

    As I said on another thread, I was doing a mock EICR and fault find today for a friend. She's in a 1900ish house with various extensions and partial rewires and has had trouble with nuisance tripping of the RCD (ELCB as I now find it is).
