Cheers mate, that was my next go to but would have taken them off a member - it's a trust thing haha

We tests lots of schools and the ICT Suite normally has its own board, all rcbos. Each ring final doesn't generally exceed seven outlets so I would say your plans are sound. I wouldn't worry about using 3871 devices at all. Should easily find some Memshield 1 on the net, I see Lee has. They may say type C but they are probably still BS3871.

Bloody typical. I was adding two RFCs to the board, using an eBay special and a C32 that was already sitting in there spare. eBay special works a treat, everything tests fine and happy as with it.

No, my problem exists with the C32 that was sitting spare: neutral and earth flying leads were disconnected and taped up. Now if I was going to leave an RCBO in-situ but unused, I think I'd be leaving the fly leads attached to their respective busbars too. Which begs the question - why were they removed and taped up but the device was still in the board? I'm in two minds whether to use this, what's everyone's thoughts? I haven't even tested it. Would you connect the second RFC to this and run it through all the usual tests and be happy using it if everything checked out? I suppose it can't be any worse than trying a second hand unit off eBay.

Just racking my brains why the neutral and earth fly leads were disconnected and taped up. Probably overthinking it.

This is a strange coincidence because I tested a school at the last term break, Memshield 2 and the spare rcbo leads had been disconnected and taped up. Just connect it and test, nothing to lose.

Must be a council electrician thing?
