got some of these to fit this week.

BG mini RCBO.

look the dog's bollox. no functional E either.

 

[Octopus]

My family run wholesalers are doing them for £12+vat a pop.

Do they get many returns?

 

[GBDamo]

Done a board the other day with these, there not to sad. I know BG aint everyones cup of tea but for the money there good in my opinion.

I really like the enclosures as they are very solid with plenty of room but then they fill them with utter crap components, and have I mentioned the terminal screws.

 

[Dave OCD]

I'd have to disagree, I always find them just as good as any [and often much more expensive] other brand. I've probably installed well over a hundred of these compact RCBOs already across a dozen or so new CUs, every terminal has been fine, they line up nice and straight and every test has turned out very well [Usually around 9-10 milliseconds on both x1 and x5 in my experience]. And as previously mentioned the BG busbar is the most substantial out there, far better than some of the flimsy rubbish that other 'quality' brands provide.

I’m using Lewden RCBOs at the minute £10 each plus vat (no functional earth either) seem pretty good too !!

Fair point on the busbar, must be good for 500+ amps.

 

[Dave OCD]

Don't know about that mate but I'd trust it with 100 amps for sure.

Really, i find the terminals alright. The built in level swings it for me as well. Saves a trip to the tool bag.

£12.50 +VAT at TLC Direct, nothing wrong with them using loads of them, I bought a shed load of 6 rcbo pre loaded boards from screwfix when they were getting rid of them at £59 each!

 

[123]

I've had no problems with BG boards, a few years ago the "wings" of the dolly switch on the MCB's where too long and wouldn't fall into the off position in the event of a fault.

Hager prices in Northern Ireland are nowhere near competitive for single face Consumer Units.

That screwfix price for the compact RCBO is shyte though.

 

[telectrix]

just looked on TLC - £15+ vat.

I had problems with these and ouside emergency lighting, did all dead tests and was fine left for a few weeks then power was put on and when i turned them on it tripped instantly so went and had a look and tested the circuit at the last light and had a direct short to earth and it was due to these rcbo all 5 of the circuits had the same but when taken the rcbo out and tested it it was fine swapped with a normal rcbo and all was good. So i basically don't like them
