    Hi, would it be acceptable to install a 10A RCBO in a 3phase board for a radial with 1 socket? (For a fridge and a hoover) Thanks.

    Can anyone tell me if an RCBO will fit this interesting board?

    Evening all... I need to fit an RCBO into a consumer unit, but I don't know if any were made. I don't the name of the consumer unit, what it looks like, what age it is or which country it is located in. Could you let me know which RCBO will fit in it please @westward10 and send me a link asap...

    RCBO 'stuttered' tripping when test button is pressed

    Just wondering what this might be. It was a brand new Schneider RCBO fit into an older Square D board. RCBO fit on the non RCD side. Everything working fine, load is on and pulling. I always press the test buttons on the RCBO's just to check, and this time the switch 'stuttered', sort of...

    RCBO suitable for circuit with no earth?

    I've just started at a new church and the electrics are bit of a shambles. I'm not going to be touching them as I'm not qualified, but one thing I have been told is this, which I'm not sure is correct (and really doesn't sound right). Sometime in the 90's the building was rewired by SEEBoard...

    RCBO Trips After 10 seconds

    Hello - I wonder if anyone can give me some advice about the following: My house has two outside lighting circuits (front lights and back lights). These are controlled via separate switches which are connected to a 6amp RCBO (30mA B curve) in the CU. Each circuit has 20x GU10 LED spots at 5w...

    Sources for SPD RCBO type A boards.

    Hi all, With Amendment 2 here has anyone found any good suppliers for SPD and RCBO domestic boards? I've found online a BG SPD + 8 RCBOs for about £190 which is about £40 cheaper than the local wholesaler. Are there any better deals out there for decent boards (I've seen 'Live' offering online...

    Electric shower case: short circuits (?) and RCBO

    Hello, I have just posted in the Electrician's section one photo and two videos of what I believe to be a dangerous situation of short circuits happening within a shower unit. You can see (also here attached): 1) Extensive burn marks on the plastic cover; 2) A vast amount of water leaking from...

    RCBO tripping even when the switch is off

    Hi I have an RCBO that keeps tripping. It is a new install to feed an EV charger with an isolation switch between and is around 5 foot from the switch board. The RCBO trips at random when the switch is off to isolate the EV charger. It has not tripped when the charger is turned on. I have...

    20amp RCBO neutral fly wire only 1.5mm

    Why does a 20amp RCBO come with only a 1.5mm neutral flywire when you are driving a 2.5mm power circuit. Aren't you creating a choke, & potential voltage drop. I appreciate it can carry 20amps but it doesn't make sense to me

    Isolation switch vs RCBO

    Planning a kitchen design with a 7.2KW induction hob. The hob will be on its own separate circuit protected by an RCBO. Best practice seems to be to have an isolation switch for the hob but the ideal switch position would be directly underneath the consumer unit. Given that I would be able to...
