Discuss Will an RCBO fit in the MK board? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
The only retrofit kits I know of were for the original Sentry boards which had the devices incorporating a slider type switch like these.I have researched a little more and there are quite a few threads on other sites that say the MK RCBO's (69 and 79 designed for sentry 2 CU) need a retrofit kit in order to fit in the older sentry boards with the 59 MCB's in them. In other words they don't fit. Are you sure they fit @westward10 ?
There is also some talk that a wylex RCBO fits in the 59 sentry boards?
I replaced a 6A in a board that I believe was this vintage fairly recently - it was MK old stock, bought from TLC and went in with no problems at all.I want to change the 3 MCB's in the picture for RCBO's.
Will the MK ones fit?
Cheers ?

Yes, they are on some promo in Kew Electrical at present. not too bad, the MK slant isnt as bad as it was but do find the CU itself flexes and distorts easily if wall isnt perfectly flat when screwed back.Anyone tried the new Circpro ones yet, with their snazzy black SPD?
Are you saying that the 69 and 79 RCBO's fitted that board Dartlec?I replaced a 6A in a board that I believe was this vintage fairly recently - it was MK old stock, bought from TLC and went in with no problems at all.
I believe the new Circpro are identical, except that they are now available in Type A.
Edit: - just looked back and my one are the slightly different layout (newer?), though same model - 5906

The one I bought was MK7932S - this one, which fitted my board with no issues at all... Type AC was the only option at the time, but looks like the new Type As are now available....Are you saying that the 69 and 79 RCBO's fitted that board Dartlec?

This was the existing setup - I replaced the 6A for bathroom lighting/upstairs.
Report back the outcome - I'm compiling an unofficial list so always good to add to it...Thanks alot Dartlec, I'll give it a go ?
Glad to see.you figured out a solution.I discovered i had an MK (79) RCBO in the van and an old MK CU in the shed. It fits perfectly!
