I didnt IR with the rcbo in i did a continuity and it was straight live to earth then disconnected it and ir tested and all was fine, and i dont know what the problem was as far as i can tell it was just the rcbo as i changed it to a standard rcbo with earth fly lead and all was fine

Are they double pole like the SPS ones?

if you mean the BG RCBOs, i don't thing so.

I meant SBS not SPS, like these:

Looking at the fact the picture you've posted has a neutral lead attached, I would say they're only single pole switching.

Ohh missed this one. Just as a comparison, Wylex compact DP RCBO's are £42.49 (SF). But I reckon you'll get them cheaper at wholesalers;

Yea £22.99 at discount-electrical.co.uk so not too bad, lovely creations they really are

 

[telectrix]

BG ones are £15.60 inc vat from TLC.

Look at that. Notice anything odd? Where is the test button? I can tell as I bought a couple the other day. It's right under the switch and while I haven't fitted them yet, I'm pretty confident pressing said button will result in a painful whack on the finger from the switch! Come on Wylex, surely you can do better than this!

Alternatively, use them and you will fond out yourself.

Just a thought

and if you do fond out yourself for goodness sake make sure no one is watching

A "proper" wholesaler will be more competitive ..............

Ah, but I get 1.5% cashback on every penny I spend at Screwfix. Adds up to quite a bit by then of the year.
