2 supplies, one board

[DNS1]

Talked about this on here a while back, but can't find the thread!

Registering with ELECSA and going to replace my own DB for the inspector...

I've currently got 2 15th Ed boards, one 4 way for the economy 7 and one 6 way for the standard supply.

Thinking about replacing with a single board with 2 main switches, one for each supply, and each feeding an RCD and it's respective circuits (small flat).

I'd be happy to do this any other time, labelling the board suitably so people don't get caught out by the 2 supplies, but concerned that it might be a little unorthodox for an inspection...

What does everyone think?

I know there are purpose built DBs available for this, but they seem quite overpriced in comparison by buying a bog standard 12 way board and an additional main switch.

Possibly! But I like a challenge!

i thought RCD's don't operate correctly if wired the 'wrong' way round!! Happy to be corrected on this though!

Maybe it depends on the manufacturer. The Schneider ones will (according to the paperwork anyway!)

AND just because its a small flat doesn't give you the ability to fit 1 x upfront RCD.

In future with go with a smaller dual board or even a RCBO board.

Done a few this way, got a photo of one which was admittedly not one of the best I did but still
