Doing a rewire at the moment in an empty house. I am using RCBO's mostly so when i got 1 room complete i wired the 4mm radial into the RCBO so we could get the kettle going.

After several brews i went to disconnect it only to find i had wired it into a 6 Amp RCBO!

The trip never operated once with a 3 KW kettle on it. It was a Square D RCBO.

Going to swap the breaker on Tuesday when the merchants open but surely this should not happen.
