Discuss Rcbos and mcbs split load board in the Electrician Courses : Electrical Quals area at ElectriciansForums.net

I don't see a problem. Of course the MCB circuits will have to be routed/installed in such a manner that RCD protection is not required.
What problem do you envisage, if any?

It sounds like you mean having a split board with 2 rcds and then putting a rcbo in place of one or more mcbs and in this case i would say no as you would have 2 30mA rcd one after the other, get a high integrity board so you still have the rcd parts plus another part for the rcbos

I'm reading this like the CU has RCBO's and then a MCB for an armoured cable going to the garage CU, which has a RCD.
Looks like we will have to wait for the Op to come back and clarify things.

@MDJ will be along in a minute to reprimand the OP for lack of information and hit him with the punctuation stick for good measure - stand back! Here comes trouble!!!!

I like to think I have a good imagination. :tearsofjoy:
The way I'm thinking this is, the CU can't be a dual RCD CU as you wouldn't add RCBO's to something that already has RCD, not the same type anyhow..
I'm sure the OP will be along any minute now, to say my thoughts are correct, to which I will then dance around the living room while pointing at you guys and singing "Told you sooooo" over and over again...
I'm always right.... just ask the missus....

Good Lord! That's fantastic.
Spoon, do you hire out that magic all seeing ball of yours? I have a job estimate to do where I can't get into the property until the boarding is taken down (tenant vandalism and police evidence scene). Would be great to get a peek behind that door. :p

Hang on a sec!
You're not the OP are you? That would be really sneaky and cheaty but also very funny and clever. ;)
