Discuss got some of these to fit this week. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
they're £24 from screwfix. 6 way board with just a 100A main switch is £23 . makes all RCBO boards ( up to a certain size) quite competitive. open forum, but everyone can see prices at the screwfux .
Alternatively, use them and you will fond out yourself.Let us know how you get on and what you think - one of my suppliers wants me to use them ....................... now, if BG did "bundled" pricing it may be a good idea.......

Just hope the terminal screws are not made of cream cheese like their usual offerings.BG mini RCBO.
look the dog's bollox. no functional E either.
My family run wholesalers are doing them for £12+vat a pop.
I really like the enclosures as they are very solid with plenty of room but then they fill them with utter crap components, and have I mentioned the terminal screws.Done a board the other day with these, there not to sad. I know BG aint everyones cup of tea but for the money there good in my opinion.
Fair point on the busbar, must be good for 500+ amps.I'd have to disagree, I always find them just as good as any [and often much more expensive] other brand. I've probably installed well over a hundred of these compact RCBOs already across a dozen or so new CUs, every terminal has been fine, they line up nice and straight and every test has turned out very well [Usually around 9-10 milliseconds on both x1 and x5 in my experience]. And as previously mentioned the BG busbar is the most substantial out there, far better than some of the flimsy rubbish that other 'quality' brands provide.
Really, i find the terminals alright. The built in level swings it for me as well. Saves a trip to the tool bag.I really like the enclosures as they are very solid with plenty of room but then they fill them with utter crap components, and have I mentioned the terminal screws.
Lewden?!? Where? Haha. Tell matey on the other thread he is about to change a temp db tomorrow as he can't get one lolI’m using Lewden RCBOs at the minute £10 each plus vat (no functional earth either) seem pretty good too !!
I had problems with these and ouside emergency lighting, did all dead tests and was fine left for a few weeks then power was put on and when i turned them on it tripped instantly so went and had a look and tested the circuit at the last light and had a direct short to earth and it was due to these rcbo all 5 of the circuits had the same but when taken the rcbo out and tested it it was fine swapped with a normal rcbo and all was good. So i basically don't like them

£12.50 here, can't get my head around it?just looked on TLC - £15+ vat.
if you mean the BG RCBOs, i don't thing so.Are they double pole like the SPS ones?
if you mean the BG RCBOs, i don't thing so.
BG ones are £15.60 inc vat from TLC.
Look at that. Notice anything odd? Where is the test button? I can tell as I bought a couple the other day. It's right under the switch and while I haven't fitted them yet, I'm pretty confident pressing said button will result in a painful whack on the finger from the switch! Come on Wylex, surely you can do better than this!Ohh missed this one. Just as a comparison, Wylex compact DP RCBO's are £42.49 (SF). But I reckon you'll get them cheaper at wholesalers;

and if you do fond out yourself for goodness sake make sure no one is watchingAlternatively, use them and you will fond out yourself.

A "proper" wholesaler will be more competitive ..............
