Any body used them??? just ordered a CU with RCBOs for one of my nice jobs ive been talking about!

i like to try things at least once and just wondering if any body else has used them???

I think he planned to use it next Thurday and report on it after!!

 

[DurhamSparky]

[DurhamSparky]

impressed so far!

Tidyyyyy.

 

[DurhamSparky]

so far so good HOWEVER!!!!


Downside
i have been sent a 6a Double 30ma RCBO instead of a Single RCBO which i asked for!! ARGH!!

Plus side....!!
i orded a 6way 100amp box

what i got was a

6way 100amp Box
+
6 way 3+3 100amp & 80A 30ma box (never orded just happened to be in my delivery) lol


so it takes the edge off my 6a RCBO lol.... so instead of having 6amp RCBO (for lights) and 6amp MCB (for smoke) im just going to bang them on same circuit and use the 3x3 box!!

no hassle to me!




well the build quality is what you would expect for the costs but they look VERY similar to CHINT and also have a hint of Hager in them lol...(you know the plastic flap on from of MCB lol)

overall im happy and providing it don't catch fire i will use again!

(will report again when fitted)

hi

just had a look on the meteor web site, those rcbo's look just like the niglon ones i buy from local wholesaler. ive had no trouble with them but i pay £14.00 for them

 

[rocker]

Ha ha 'ave it!

 

[DurhamSparky]

RIGHT GUYS!!!

sorry for no posts been busy.....!

yes all fitted and so far so good..!

Build Quality OK nothing fancy or feels good in hand type.

Connections all connected ok no cross threading at all, Plastic DIN is dubious and the clips to seat MCB/RCBO need a little nudge.

ive yet to power it up yet as its only just been first fixed and yes its not bad at all..!

only thing thats annoyed me is that the Plumber decided to not utilise my 10mm cable and 40a RCBO for shower and is going for the Combi Boiler method..!! ARGH!!!!!
