    retro fit rcbo's

    Had some rcbo's to retrofit to some dorman smith 3 phase db's earlier and it occurred to me as I was fighting past the other cables in the 72 way board that they are actually a nightmare to fit in a busy as heck board. Why they so bloody long?!?!

    Steeple RCBO

    I wanted to add a couple of sockets by the windows of a small clothes shop. The easiest way, I thought, was to create a new, radial circuit. The C.U. is a Steeple and there are two spare ways into the board. The existing circuits are protected by RCBOs so I bought a new one from Denmans. When I...

    Niglon RCBOs Problems Anyone?

    I had five out of eight Niglon RCBOs fail to respond to the test button today. Three 6A, and two 16A . One of the 16A 'blew' / 'exploded inside', after pressing the button a few times. Wasted half a day because of it :banghead: Anyone else? I'm just wondering if there's a wider issue here. (It...

    Global Insulation resistance testing

    I was doing a fuse board update the other day and normally I use duel RCD boards with mcb s but instead I used separate Rcbos due to the customer specifying these. I prefer fitting Rcbos due to just that one circuit is disrupted when there is a fault. when quoting for the job I carry out a...

    Best make of RCBOs?

    Hi, Looking to source some RCBOs in UK as part of a re-wire here in Gran Canaria (will be done by a retired UK electrician). Looking for good price and performance (happy to pay more for better quality - but not just for a name). Can you experts recommend makes and suitable suppliers. Thanks.

    IR Testing RCBOs

    Hi all, got c.u full of rcbos for my upcoming assessment in Jan. My question is can I remove the cables from from the terminations of the rcbo to test for Ir and still keep the assessor happy? The reason I'm asking is because: 1) the probe from my fluke won't reach far enough into the...

    Board change and storage heaters

    I dont usually do board changes on old properties unless its a full rewire, However my neighbour wants an upgrade to a 17th edition board, and it would be really handy as a part P reasessment job. The thing is he has night storage heaters on economy 7 which are fed from their own CCU which...

    RCBO’s ? ? ? ?

    Time for one of Tony’s hypothetical questions again. But first I need something confirmed. Are RCBO’s SP or DP? I say it’s hypothetical, my recommendation to a friend regarding a new build he’s having done will be influenced by your first answers.

    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...
