All Rcbos

[Engineer54]

An all RCBO CU/DB be they SP+N or SP is by far superior to the common split 17th ed CU's or it's predecessors. They are to all intent and purpose, an industry cost effective compromise, that to my mind is not really fit for purpose. eg, ...a problem on one circuit can and will affect several other circuits.

Where a TT installation is involved, the RCBO's should be SP+N or DP.....

I know the trade does love it's abbreviations & changing the names for stuff & since it seems that earth has to be T for Terra then the old PME (permanent earth .. now defunked ) ought to be PMT...

LOL

Someones told me that to comply with the latest regs then a split load board with half the circuits as rcbos & the rest on mcbs with an RCD is no good & all rcbos is the way to go.
I can see the point but it seems overkill ???

I thought we’d got rid of you?

I notice you’ve changed your profile to hide the fact you’re a builder.

There is no shame at all,in being a builder,creating noble structures,that stand testament to that art,for hundreds of years....

....The problem is,if you fancy having a go at surgery...and somebody lets you :conehead:

Maybe if I was the only one available to save your life, if you needed it you'd let me have a go at surgery.......
On a first aid course I just did, they told us that in an emergency even a dirty pair of underpants could be used if required to stem the flow of blood.... Anything infact .. except the out of date sterile dressing from my old first aid kit......

Anyone got any good plumbing tips..... LOL

He is right in what he is saying. However it is not a requirement. Ask him to quote regulation that stipulates RCBO's.

Once the nay-sayer sobers up!
