    Lewden 30mA type A RCBOs

    Happy new year guys, I installed a new Lewden CU today and all the type A RCBOs failed when tested at x5 (150mA) at the end of the circuit. However, when tested at the terminals of the RCBO they tripped in around 38/39ms. I am aware that Hager have had issues with their 61008 RCCBs and suggest...

    Insulation resistance query old style hager rcbos

    When carrying out insulation resistance testing on old style rcbos (hager) I understand you are supposed to disconnect both line and neutral aswell as both the neutral and functional earth fly leads.....however does this in theory mean you need to disconnect the above for all rcbos at the same...

    Does any one have a rough idea how many 24w led panel 600x600 could go on a 10 amp type b rcbo with out tripping or a 6 amp type B rcbo I found a long circuit that complies with zs when a direct measurement is taken at its furthest point , but on length alone im sure it does not comply by...

    Wanted Old/Used/Faulty BG RCBOs for wiring practice rig

    As title; am after old/used/naff BG RCBOs to throw one or two in my wiring rig and as they wont be used IRL I can't really justify the £10-20 price tag new ones attract so figured I'd be cheeky and ask. On a side note; do many sparks reuse old/removed kit if its still in workings order...

    RCBOs

    Hi all, Does anyone have any apps/conversion charts that are handy for swapping out circuit breakers to rcbos without relying on electrical stores to check conversions/fittings. Im quite fresh out my time so a lot of the common ones are not common to me as yet. The problem I am having is, I...

    Recommend me a small CU with DP MCBs / RCBOs

    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...

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...

    6kA (Not 10kA) RCBOs in commercial TP boards: Why not?

    I'm fitting two replacement sub-mains panels as part of a long-term upgrade from split-phase to three phase on a part-domestic part-commercial site (my own gaff). I'm using all RCBOs because I like them, but am less keen on the cost of the commercial variants ... Fellow spark says one MUST use...

    Class A RCBOs - list of manufacturers

    I'd find a list of manufacturers who are currently producing single module class A RCBOs (and perhaps class A RCDs) quite useful. To my knowledge so far there are: Hager Doepke Schneider Does anyone know of any others?

    Electrician Jobs Changing garage Mcbs for Rcbos

    My garage has a small consumer unit fitted with elcb and mcbs for the socket and lights. After cutting through a circular saw cable it did not take out the garage elcb but the elcb in the house consumer unit. If I get an electrician to changed the mcbs for Rcbos would this prevent the house elcb...

    Board change (RCBOs) Lights trip sockets

    Evening all, I changed a board today in a ground floor flat. 3 circuits with separate RCBOs (Shower 40A, sockets 32A, and Lights 6A) Switching on any light switch causes the both RCBOs for the lights and sockets to trip. Insulation resistance results are in the 100s between conductors on...

    CTI RCBOs ......................

    even before the 18th edition suggested we should fit the same manufacturers products, I have always been inclined to do it anyway ... So now I need to locate RCBOs to go in a fairly new CTI metal cu .. Anyone know who sells this kit? It looks almost identical to Lewdens, control gear Thanks

    Hi folks, i have a 16 way British General CU which was configured as split load. I'm converting to all RCBOs which is fine apart from one small detail, i don't have a single neutral bar long enough. The earth bar is fine - plenty of ways for CPC doubled with RCBO functional earth. The neutral...
