Contactum RCBO and board

[MJPD29]

Hi guys I'm just wondering do any of you have any experience of fitting Contactum Rcbos and was wondering if they are any good? Have multiple board to change in a row of house and have been given a good price from local wholesalers on 6way populated RCBO boards but don't was wanting some opinions on them before buying. Thanks

Have a look at the Lewden/control gear direct boards . Cheaper than contactum and well thought out with plenty of room above devices . had no issues installing them for 4 years

Contactum full RCBO boards is all I fit now as I also get a good price from my wholesaler.

DB itself is very well made, has plenty of room inside for the RCBO's and to dress the cables properly, RCBO's/MCB's align correctly on din rail and don't appear twisted when the cover is on like some other brands!

RCBO trip times are pretty consistent around the 28 ms mark on 1x and 5x, haven't had any faulty modules yet (touch wood!) and fitted around 80-100 of them.

Only gripe is I don't think they're the prettiest of units (compared to Hager) and not a massive fan of the labels that come with the DB, you get a choice of using either red or green coloured text on a white background - I use my brother label printer which keeps my OCD at bay.

Thanks for the help, they seem sturdy and well made unlike some other brands I've used. As long as it does it's purpose I'll not loose any sleep over the shape of it!

They are the same as BG...And I'm not a fan of the BG gear.
