Take a look at the 8 live circuits, including lighting made off into 1, 20A MCB I found while carrying out an EICR inspection today! Does anyone recognise the manufacturer of RCBO?

Not very professional of them when the image online is shown back to front - eg. 'DAOL'!

With the spare slots they could have just split them I guess onto additional RCBOs. Obviously 20a MCB will burn the housiender down long before it trips.

But why is there 6 lighting feeds? Assuming that 20a has 4 looking at the pic and the two 6a RCBOs are lighting having 1 each
 
From the picture, I would guess that the circuits were originally destined for the two 6a RCBO'S (but due to some mix up, fault, borrowed neutral) ended up being wedged into the 20a MCB!

Theres an FCU feeding external electric gates, an intruder alarm and I'm guessing more than 2 lighting feeds. It's been reported to the client and am awaiting quote approval before I make any repairs.
