    hey guys, Just completing an install cert for a new consumer unit and im a bit confused on PD selection. I install Type A RCBOS but on the new certs, it looks like i fill in OCPD type and then underneath RCD type? Do i just fill in as a 61009 B type, and then in the next section, fill in...

    Is an RCD required with RCBO's protecting the circuits

    Surely if you fit an RCBO on each circuit, an RCD is not required? Of course, a DP Main switch would be to cut all power, but like I ask, is the RCD required as it is incorporated in the RCBO? Thanks

    RCBO's are suppliers taking a risk

    There talks that campervan electrical suppliers, like Truma, Sargent, Powerpart, etc are supplying electrical consumer units or control systems with 240v systems illegally as they do not meet the 18th edition, section 721 on motorcaravans where in a fault, both live and neutral must be...

    Do Wylex RCBO's fit as a replacement for NSB MCB's?

    I may well need to change all the MCB's for RCBO's in this board (see picture). Do Wylex RCBO's fit in this board? It is currently fitted with NSB MCB's. Also, Wylex seem to do a few different RCBO's. Do they all fit, especially the new compact range? I'll expand a little on the problem...

    Satisfying over current characteristics of RCBO's

    I work in the events industry which works under 7909. This assumes that someone qualified 7671 etc has tested the distor's and designed a system before it is sent to an event where people like me with 7909 then plug in and do some basic testing. I've completed 7671 and other domestic install...

    Are Danson consumer units and RCBO's ok?

    I am in the habit of fitting 'Fusebox' consumer units. However, I notice that Danson are even cheaper. Has anyone fitted them? Are they acceptable quality? Any problems with the RCBO's? If they are 'Chint' like quality then I would rather avoid them. Chint are the only RCD's I have ever come...

    Intermittent RCD tripping. Benefit of changing over to RCBO's?

    Hi, We have recently had some electrical work completed in the house to add a new circuit for air conditioning. We are now experiencing intermittent RCD trips, at all hours of the day and night, in the section of the consumer unit that the new A/C MCB was installed into. No MCB's trip - just...

    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 ?

    new circuits onto an AMD3 board with RCBO's - ref 18th ed?

    Hi, I am planning a house extension and will need to add 3 more circuits to my existing board. My current set-up is a metal CU with all circuits on RCBO's. Will I be able to add circuits to this board under 18th Ed or will i need a board swap to make room for all the extra surplus surge...

    Will RCBO's fit this MK board?

    I need to fit some RCBO's into this board. I realise they don't fit in place of the LN range but these don't say LN on them and it doesn't look like the old LN MK CU I have in the shed. Will they fit? Cheers all.
