RCBO's tips and suggestions

[Judd]

Has anyone got any tips and suggestions for terminating RCBO's neatly in consumer units?
I'm more than happy with how I present my dual RCD and MCB CU's but I find that the flying neutral and earth from RCBO'S don't hold their Shape like a solid core cable would and often sag and look unsightly.
Any pictures aswell would be a bonus

It's better than nothing at all. Working in control panels and designing them things like that stick out to me, as sad as it is.

Better, but green ferrules are for 6mm. Not only do they look better when properly ferruled, but it's against the regs not to!

Or 16mm if you like the German ones...

Either way those pictured are way too big and will not crimp correctly, even when you graunch them up with the screw...

They are fine.

You've been buying those cheap Chinese eBay specials haven't you? If so they'll be designed for 6.18mm cables...

Probably an off brand product that isn't built to any standard.

had them for years from subbing to a major thyristor drive factory. they sat in what's called a "free issue" bin. i.e small parts that don't need to be requisitioned from stores. used there on panel building.
