So I have a job coming up, a customer wants most of the socket fronts replacing in there house.
The board is an old GET board with MCBs not an RCD in sight.
As GET are discontinued I can not get RCBOs to swap out the MCBs
So I have a couple of proteus RCBOs although I hate them they seem to be the same size as the GET gear so Im hoping they fit properly. I don’t like mixing manufacturers but I don’t have a choice.
Failing they don’t fit I’m going to fit a small dB by the side of the existing one leave the MCBs in place and wire the RCBOs off them and then to the circuits.
This is a lot of work but I cannot see another way around it.
I don’t want to put a front end RCD in the sub board as this means all the sockets will be on the one RCD meaning you loose everything when a fault arises
I have suggested a board swap but they had the board change 5 or 6 years ago so don’t want to go down that route.
So open to any other creative ideas instead of having to pull all 3 ring circuits into a new board.
Cheers
