    Contactum DP RCBO source

    Anyone aware of a supplier for Contactum 40A Type A B Curve 1P+N Compact RCBO's (CCPBR06401AB) Google has let me down. I have checked all the usual suspects (TLC, Screwfix, Toolstation, Rexel, Yess, CEF etc), and nobody lists a DP only SP

    Contactum CU

    Hi people, new to this forum. just went to do an EICR and the upstairs lights arenā€™t RCD protected. Rather than fail it and say it needs a board change, Iā€™d like to the circuit on an RCBO. The Consumer Unit is an older style Emma/Contactum board. Am I right in thinking a new miniature Wylex...

    Contactum Alfanar range. Not impressed.

    One if my customers bought a batch of "Alfanar" accessories for a job I'm working on. I'm very underwhelmed. Has anyone else had the pleasure? The thermoplastic fittings have minimalist shallow terminals. In the case of the sockets, too close together for comfort also, meaning a very precise (...

    Compatible MCB for "Emma" CU with Contactum and Europa Breakers

    Replacing a fan and some lights today at a job I'll be doing more work on, which has an "Emma" branded consumer unit. Googling suggests that it's a rebranded Contactum board, and the housing looks identical to this image which supports that. However, I also know that Contactum changed their...

    hi guys. Just wondering if i can ask for some advice. Looking at fitting a contactum spd in an existing board and the instructions say to fit the spd to the right of the main switch, but the previous electrician has not left a spare way there so was thinking of having the mcb and the spd on...

    Bit of a long shot, new cover for 20 y/o contactum board?

    Metal Contactum board installed 1998 according to the labelling. Unfortunately it has a plastic flap covering the front of the devices. Anyone know if it's possible to cheaply get a new cover with a metal flap? Would be much easier than taking the whole board out, and seems silly to update all...

    new Contactum full metal board

    Had a go installing one of those new proper metal boards. Contactum defender version 1.0 Disappointed a lot. Heavy metal fuse cover no way to hold it up when you work on it. Lid closing holes dont align with the threads behind properly, plus the bolts are located in a very very wrong place, no...
