Do any of you legends know if the new type of Contactum RCBO will fit this board as a direct replacement?

Thanks in advance

As promised, here’s the reply I received from Alan at Contactum this morning.

Hello James. Thanks for contacting us.

Unfortunately these devices were made obsolete in July 2008 and as such are no-longer available. Our current devices are not designed for use within the old generation of consumer units and will not physically fit. Your only real option here is to consider upgrading your consumer unit to a modern equivalent in line with the requirements of the current wiring regulations BS7671. I have attached our latest brochures to this email for your reference.

Looks like I’m quoting for a board upgrade.

Thanks for everyone’s input and help. 😎👍
