A simple one I guess but one I have not come across:
3 bed house - 1 CU - 16th edition I guess with 1 RCD covering 5 circuits.
The kitchen was on the downstairs ring.
I have added a brand new kitchen ring and a 6mm cooker feed.
Can I use RCBOs to protect the circuits on the spare side that...
i have been asked to fit three phase board in a block of flats and the drawings state they want mcbs but i will have to rcd protect the circuits. is it just a case of using rcbos throughout cos this will be very costly and also i would want three circuits to trip together but i cant find three...

Apologies if this has been raised before - nothing has come up on a search of the site. Have any of come across the situation where the flexible neutral tail on an RCBO is not long enough to reach the neutral busbar? If so, what do you do - can you extend the neutral tail without causing...
Just off the phone to meggar technical support.
They have been having problems with this specific brand of rcbo when carrying our Zs tests.
Breaking tripping on test.
Seemingly by reversing test leads, breaker doesn't trip...
Just had a hager 32a rcbo go on me today. Nothing wrong with the circuit, i think the internal latching mechanics have broken as it does not hold when disconnected totally and just sitting in my spares box.
Has anyone else had this sort of experience?
It's less than a year old and just in a...

out of interest , if a DB is fed with armoured cable using the starnds as earth which is fed from a main isolater which is on a TNCS supply, to carry out the IR would i have to dissconnect the neutral out of the main isolter ( not on the DB ) and the earth fly lead off the banjo. when testing N...
is there anyone who can clarify the debate about single pole rcbos on a tt system???
i have a main 300mA s type DP rcd at origin and wanted to use rcbos on sub main cu's in other buildings instead of using a single 30mA device to protect a whole cu
as a whole board going down would be an issue...
Has anyone else had the problem of it tripping rcds on non trip loop?? seems only wylex in my case.
I have spoke to megger to be told i was performing the test wrong! Quite rude tbh.
I have since spent a lot of time thinking about it and the external earth fault path it takes...
so i have tried...
Hi Guys
On a farm I have a standard 3 phase Main Board with a standard main switch on a TN-C-S supply.
Single pole 30mA RCBOs supply some local 13 Amp sockets and lighting.
If I wish to supply a Sub-board with TT earthing in another building from this Main Board can I protect it with a Single...
Hi,
If I had a CU with an RCD'd main switch and put in a new circuit on an RCBO, would the RCBO always be the first to trip should there be a fault on that circuit?
Thanks!
I'm doing my first farm building installation and would like to get it right.
The Main Barn has a 3ph 100A TN-C-S supply to a 3ph Meter. I'm ripping out the the rodent eaten ancient switchfuses, domestic consumer units etc and starting again.
My plan is to feed a new local 3ph board. From...

Well I have had my PV system in for a few months now and all seems to be working okay after my problems with the electricians installation, however maybe someone can answer a question I have now, having bathrooms refitted and trying to avoid the bonding cables by fitting an RCCB rather than...
Do RCBOs normally have 2 flying leads - neutral and earth?
Are there "old" rcbos and new types.
The reason I ask is that I have bought Proteus RCBOs and they have a flying neutral wire only.
I've never fitted RCBOs before and am just a bit confused.
Any explanations appreciated.
