    RCBO's for a Proteus board

    Hi all. My customer wants some work doing in his bathroom. He has an old sh*%ty (my opinion) Proteus board (the type where the sides all come off too easy and the board front locks using the spring clips) with no RCD protection. Conventional RCBOs wont fit into the CU as the busbar sits very far...

Also what are peoples opinions on ty-rapping loomed cables inside...

Been getting funny readings but think it's just something I am doing wrong...
