Pictures of tidy domestic RCBO filled boards

[Chris Electron]

Hello,

Has anyone got any photo's of consumer units filled with RCBO's that look very tidy. Whenever I have a board that has say 10 ways of RCBO's it is always a struggle towards the end to make nice and neat. Would be great to see what other people do.

Reading past threads about cable ties in boards I tend to stay away from these. I know it looks neater but I hate coming to boards that you have to alter when there are a load of ties in there.

I have a 12 way RCBO board to do at the end of the week and really want to get it spot on.

The board I am doing is a Contactum which the client supplied. The neutral cable from each RCBO is very long. Do people normally cut these to size? If so do you put a ferrule back on the end of the cable?

Anyway would really appreciate some ideas.

Many thanks,

Chris.

Not a large board - though fairly crowded, but here's a small one of mine towards the end which must have been temporarily energising just one circuit (can't remember now) as there's no bus bar in there yet and a couple of circuits yet to connect. I sometimes use ties used to keep tidy during assembly then remove at the end. Note the replacement ferrules on the earth leads, all cut to a more sensible length as also the neutrals, though I don't tend to worry too much about ferrules on the end of those as they pretty much fill the terminal anyway and make a sound contact. It also looks like the earth bar wasn't behaving itself that day either!!

It is you welsh lad's fault, if you never kept speaking welsh everytime an Englishman entered North Wales we may have opened a few wholesalers there and created some Jobs

I looked this up a while ago , apparently ita Functional earth lead and is mostly installed on single module electronic RCDs (61009 RCBOs) and on some 2 module 61008 RCDs as well , MEM (Eaton) say the lead is there to counter any fluctuations in neutral within the unit (momentary loss of neutral) on certain inductive switching devices , i.e. Switch start flories etc , and should always be connected because the devices are set and tested with them in place , ,
