BINGO!!! smaller version of this!!

you can install RCBO to the right hand side of main switch!! as i mentioned little piece of busbar and your away!

I still think it would be better (safer?) to have the RCD/RCBO local to the shed, as it is easier to reset rather than having to walk back to the house to reset each time.

ahh i see but the existing bit of busbar would be in the way, would i just cut it and then put a piece from L from main switch and wack the rcbo on?

 

[DurhamSparky]

You could also do as Durham suggested,

with the original MCB feeding the shed, instead of an RCBO at the house CU ie. feed the existing, MCB from the main switch, effectively creating a non RCD protected way.

This will then save you having to alter the shed CU, and give you the best of both, ie. the RCD local to the shed, and no effect on the house CU

i fit Eaton CU as standard and the Busbar comes apart with little resistance at the notches!!

when you remove the MCB you will have created a free way...!! shimmy the RCD along and install a piece of busbar from L out on main switch to feed your RCBO...!

what model CU have you got!! is teh Main switch in the middle or to the side!

Would such an alteration affect the type testing of the CU?
Would it comply with the manufacturer's instructions?

could do meaning keeping the rcd at the shed but jst coming off m/s into the mcb in house board.

Yes exactly,
as then if the RCD in the shed trips for whatever reason you can reset it at the shed, also you will not need to buy any additional materials.

Does this board also have a seperate neutral bar for the RCBO?
