Fitted a new Schneider RCBO B20 30mA Single Pole Type A.
Connected function earth and neutral lead, with rcbo turned off, turned slider on, turned rcbo on, tested operation of push button and it went kapot!
Test button now stuck in and will not reset?
Ideas anyone or just a faulty RCBO?
Edit...
Anyone an idea why an RCBO measures >40ms on a 5x test on the second half of the sine wave but all other tests are within requirements? Sorry, it's not a single RCBO, there's 2 RCBOs in this board and both have similar results leading me to think not a faulty RCBO but an issue further upstream...
Hi All
We've recently got a foot in the door with a decent garden company who are promising lots of work.
There's been talk about wireless/ app controlled lighting, pumps etc.
To be honest I've not been down this route just yet.
Just seeing what makes any of use/ recommended please?
Only...
Hello all,
Do any of you know if vynckier made RCBO'S, or if another similar brand RCBO fits a vynckier consumer unit.
Had a little look on ebay, but not having much luck. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers :)
I need to go shopping in the morning for a small metal CU, about 5 outgoing circuits, but they have to be fitted with DP OCPD including some C-type. One overall RCD is OK but if I can get suitable RCBOs that is a possible. It's so rare that I fit a small single-phase board, I've no idea which...
We are going through a building (now unoccupied) to identify from old drawings and what circuit charts there are to prove what does what before safe isolation to do alterations and remove. We are doing this for the ground floor however the boards are in the roof area. To do this we are using 2...
I have read somewhere, (but I can't locate the source), that because the RCBO's electronic control operates at a very slightly higher potential than earth, there is a very small leakage to earth through the functional earth lead.
Is this correct or is my memory playing tricks?
Hi all, new here, looked over the forums and on google couldn’t find much Info.
I have a consumer unit where the sockets, cooker and shower are protected by an RCBO.
I had to replace to sockets with ones that have built in USB. So switched off the MCB for sockets (as you would) I would have...
Morning all..
As in the title does the RCBO below fit in the proteus board shown in the second picture.
I'm sure it must do but I just wanted to be 100% sure before I turn up to the job.
Also, in case I buy a different proteus RCBO, do they all fit this board? The reason I ask is because...
I've just change a CU and installed RCBO's. There is a 32a SP RCBO suppling a ring final circuit. There is a 6a SP RCBO radial lighting circuit. When the 6a radial circuit is energised the 32a RCBO trips. With the 6a dead the 32a stays in.
I expected to find a shared neutral but there is no...
Hello,
I have been reading the topics on this forum which have been very helpful.
I am looking to change my consumer unit to a full RCBO unit - I am not going to fit it myself, I am just trying to gather knowledge as to what is available so that I am informed as to choice.
I have gathered that...
Been asked to carry out some bathroom work including new spots, underfloor heating etc. The existing DB is an old Square D board with no rcd protection at all. Customer wont pay for a new DB, and ive priced a drop in rcbo....... £177 each. Passed this info on to the home owner, and hes...
Hi all,
Looking some electrical advise. I've been told by an electrician that I need to install 5 Nr RCBO's to this consumer unit. Is this correct or is the current set up ok? He has provided me with a condition report stating a 'C2' on the cables concealed in walls. If an upgrade is required...
From the code breakers book,which is a good buy,no mention of the 1667 ohm readings,my thinking if it don’t comply to the Zs measurements,then it don’t comply.
No more sticking a Rcd on that circuit,that’s if anybody does,to protect it .
I have a replacement consumer unit coming upon which is currently off a TT system with a nice low reading on the earth. There is no chance of the DNO converting to TNCS. No SPD or AFDD as per client.
I intend fitting a new Dual RCD consumer unit.
I have researched this site and there was talk...
I'm stuck here fellas.
I have a radial with only one double socket outlet in 2.5mm T&E on a 20A RCBO running five meters in surface mounted trunking. TN-S, R1 and R2 good, 243V measured, Ze 0.12, Zdb 0.29, Zs 0.36, IR all +200MOhms.
RCD trip tests all ok at 0 and 180 and ramp 24mA.
Now these...
Hi everybody.
In the not too distant future I would like to get my current consumer unit replaced. I want to select the brand for my electrician as I’m a pain and like to research things. I was looking to see whether my thought process seems reasonable so would welcome and appreciate any help...
