Hi all.
Looking to refresh the MCB and RCCB (100A 30mA) units to my 20 year old Contactum P12/100N CU installed in my house.
I have presently a section of Contactum 9000 Type B Range.
These are clearly discontinued now.
Can I assume that the new CPB Type B model of MCB and RCCB range is now...
Woke up this morning and tried to turn on the computer (work from home) wouldn't power on, checked lights they worked fine. Went downstairs to check the switchboard and only the RCCB breaker was tripped, all other MCBs on. I can narrow this down to it occurring between 06:30 - 07:30 this morning...
I live in Cuba. In my house I have two 120V lines an a neutral. I also have a ground instalation not binded to the neutral. Some parts of the house are wired with L1 and others with L2. There are some outlets that uses both lines as some equipment (AC for example) needs 220V.
Given that...

My 1990 property does not have the lighting circuits protected by the Distribution Board RCCB.Only the power circuits are protected.If I get a trip from the RCCB the lights stay on.
Do I need to upgrade my system to include RCCB for lighting?
Hi guys. Looking for some advice.
I’ve had some building work done.
1. Outhouse. The wiring internally was changed but the wiring from the house to the outhouse is the same. All electrics working okay in there.
2. Conservatory built. Wiring is in however it is not connected up yet so no...
OSG Pg.40 says:
'[Split CU with 2x RCCBs] is not suitable for an installation forming part of a TT system as there is insufficient fault protection of the single-insulated conductors that connect the load side of the double-pole main switch to the supply-side of the RCCB's.'
Why is there...
Hi all
I am in an industrial unit and the 100mA RCCB keeps tripping.
They use it as the main switch inside of the unit's distribution board. The mainboard that feeds all the units has an MCB in it.
The RCCB keeps tripping when I plug-in AC to DC transformer loads such as laptops, speakers...
Background
I live in Indonesia, the voltage for residential buildings ranges from 220 V to 230 V, I need help with the installation of the Schneider products. Here is another link to the thread about the installation of Surge Arrester in Picture 1, which is related to the installation discussed...
Hi
I'm removing an extractor fan from our WC, as it's just a toilet and sink and we never use hot water in there anyway...
The extractor is on the light circuit, but has it's own pull cord. I double checked by turning the fan and light on, then switching off the MCB. All good. I triple checked...
At my home there's a RCCB that keeps randomly tripping, ranging from once every month, to two times in a week. We couldn't identify any pattern. The only thing that seems to be related, is that it seems to happen more frequently after setting up the microwave clock, but it's not an immediate...
When replacing a light housing, I found the RCCB was somehow tripped. I first used a pen tester to check the wires and found them normal (no voltage). I then used a multimeter to test again. Here are the results:
L-N 7.4 v
L-E 6.8 v
N-E 3 V
After the RCCB was tripped, the readings were zero...
Problem : addition of a 4P 2 way knife switch and the main house 1st floor RCCB is tripped if the switch changes position.
The simplified and relevant wiring diagram is like this (before addition of a 4p switch):
meter -> main breaker -> RCCB (sub main breaker) for 1st floor -> 3p MCB -> 4P...
I’ve a Square D Split load RCCB board that has a strange issue. The RCCB trips and none of the MCBs seem to trip.
The only thing that has recently been done is replacing the sockets and switches. I’ve tested each socket with a socket tester and it was showing as correct on all sockets. I only...
I need to replace this old RCCB with a suitable replacement.

Currently the one installed is not tripping on test and from the test point. Changing the entire consumer unit is not financially viable for the home owner at...
