    No RCD for bathroom

    Hi I have been asked to install downlights in a bathroom and have checked the CU which is split but must be 16th as all the sockets and immersion are RCD protected and all the lights separate smokes and the cooker are not . I have one spare way. Easy option is RCBO's for unprotected circuits. It...

    Couple Of Testing Questions...

    1) When about to do an insulation resistance test between neutral and earth on a board full of rcbo's, should I have anything dis-connected and should I just test between the two bars or the rcbo outgoing and earth bar? Been getting funny readings but think it's just something I am doing wrong...

    RCBO's and borrowed neutrals

    If a board is fitted with all RCBO's would a borrowed neutral show up and cause any problems? I reckon not but a mate of mine reckons it would cause trippng ??

    Hi all, Talking to a lecturer (electrical) recently who is changing all his mcb's to rcbo's and he has sourced them from C.P.C . He brought one in and it is not an exact match for MK gear but does fit the boards well. Made in China of course, (everything seems to be theses days!):rolleyes...

    RCBO/CU Problem

    Went to change mcbs to rcbo's in a wylex board that's used for total control heating. Then I hit a problem as some off the rcbo's don't fit as the neutral bar is in the way! Instead of the main neutral feed to the bar being cable it was one of those copper pre made ones so can't move it up...

    RCBO's

    I may be asking some very stupid questions from time to time and this is probably one of them. But anyway my background is in electronics and not electrical work so I have zero knowledge of the correct terminology for many electrical items, nor do I have much knowledge with regards to current...

    RCCD's and RCBO's

    This might sound like an obvious question but do rccd's have overcurrent protection? When you buy a 17th edition board that has two double pole RCCD's one at 63A and one at 80A are these RCCD's effective for overcurrent as well as earth fault leakage? I have been looking at double pole RCBO's...
