House alarm and doorbell from 6amp MCB?

[Sunil Patel]

Hi

Just preping to have a home alarm and doorbell transformer wired to my cu

Both require a 6amp MCB, can I wire them both from the same MCB?

If I keep them seperase I won't have any spare slots as I need to put in a 2 slot transformer

I won't be doing the wiring, just need to get materials

You should ask the person who will be doing the wiring and connecting as their opinion is more important than that of anyone on here.

I think the alarm should be on it’s own curcuit.
Bung the doorbell in with the lights. You could use a standalone transformer, not one that fits in the db.

If a full alarm system, the maintenance & monitoring contract may require the system be on a dedicated circuit. Check with the service provider (or manufacturer's guidelines, if it is just a local alarm without maintenance/monitoring)

Or one with an integral transformer.

Leave it to the Leccy to sort out materials Sunil.
