    Contactum MCB

    Hi, I will be upgrading a shower shortly. The existing unit is 7kW and I'm fitting a 9kW unit. Does anyone know where I can obtain a Contactum 40A MCB from. I can't find any supplier that stock the type on the photo (9040B). Or is there an equivalent that fits this CU ? (Contactum P12/80N)

    RCD not tripping

    Last month I changed a consumer unit and all was well. Now neither of the RCD's are tripping correctly. I get either >50v or >40ms. Could this be 2 faulty RCD's? the make is Contactum and the elecsa guy I spoke to today didn't seem too keen on them. Idea's most welcome Carl
