Need some advice and to introduce myself

[telectrix]

Yes but they said I can move the unit up meaning I can get a split board anyway so it will fit in if I move the unit... what I want to know is given the choice what would other people use... I've never considered rcbos because last time I looked I was looking at around 100 extra for about 4/5 circuits i think it was which is the only time ive looked because in my eyes it wasn't worth the extra

Bare in mind I have 2 circuits so a split board will have them on separate rcds anyway

Control,Gear 8 way RCBO board c/w main switch and 6 RCBOs is £109 inc. VAT. no functional earth leads with this model.a doddle to fit.loads of space above RCBOs.no brainer.

only fault i could see was no round K/Os, you need to drill them if required.

So 1 last question all be it a stupid 1 to you guys... do the rcbo boards need any RCD protection?? Are they classed as RCD in themselves?? I really know naff all about rcbos sorry

a RCBO is a MCB and RCD combined in 1 MCB sized unit, so no additional RCD is required. the only drawback is that the RCD part is not double pole, so will not isolate a N-E fault.
