converting mem board

[i=p/u]

i have a board which is protecting one side with 100A main switch, and the other side is being protected by 100A double pole rcd.

can i get another 100A rcd and put in as main switch which will cover the side un protected by rcd.[h=1]MEM/EATON 100Amp 2 Pole A100HE 100 Amp 30mA Double RCCB Breaker 100A RCD/RCBO[/h]
making this board 17th compliant then.

there is plenty of spare ways in this board so if i can get another 100A 30mA main switch and then mem mcbs for the new circuits, seems easiest than changing board ... trev

can you get rcbo's to fit old mem board???? mem mbh140 mcbs fit this board...

Fit RCBO's to the unprotected side. As Top Cat says the new RCD will end up covering the whole board, inc second RCD.

You can get MEM rcbos fro ebay. Or they do an adaption that fits to the exsiting mcb to make it an rcbo. These are sold at cef but cost more than rcbos.

well i dont think i have ever finished a thread /post how it should be done.

i fitted new board for nearly same price as the rccb/rcbo that i needed to convert the mem board.. few heads is better than one so ty for guiding me to the harder option but better solution.

can i get anyone to confirm what test you carry out before you change a cu. ??? as you know im an apprentice but flying/ploughing on
