Split load CU cable CSA

[Amp David]

In a regular single phase consumer unit, what CSA is the cabling that connects upp the RCDs to the nuetral bars and main switch?

I might be getting the wrong end of the stick but isnt the main switch connected to the MCB's via a busbar? and the nuetral is 10mm as far as im aware.

Asked that question before no one gave an answer but if you are thinking of upgrading a CU then you can get whats called a split load kit from the wholesaler. If I remember correctly it was Lenny that came to the rescue with that one.

Reason for asking is so I can get some ferrules to fit. I like to trim the cable so that it terminates neatly without any copper showing. If the ends are cut they can sometimes be a pain to get back into the terminals.

I make all my own split load kits and the bootlace ferrules I use are 16mm.
