    Update & follow up question!

    Tha Thanks for this. I am aware of the 'looping back' practice and have also used a standalone overload relay before however in this case I'm not sure it would help unless I put it upstream of the contactors. I'll explain. The new contactor arrangement is shown in the photo and the diagram...

    Crabtree no more?

    Indeed, it would be nice if another manufacturer did that for the rest of the 'Capital' range as 90% of the older housing stock in my area is Crabtree equipped and its tricky to find another basic range that looks quite right in older cottage or farmhouse type properties, it would be nice though...

    Crabtree no more?
