Wanted any old MCBs & Rcbos want for cash.
[SIZE=2]If your carrying out a DB change or upgrade, keep the old breakers as I will pay cash for them.
I also by old stock left over from contracts ect.
I am based in North Wales but can travel over North Wales and north west of England, I also...
Someones told me that to comply with the latest regs then a split load board with half the circuits as rcbos & the rest on mcbs with an RCD is no good & all rcbos is the way to go.
I can see the point but it seems overkill ???
So adding a couple of circuits to the garage/workshop (socket radial either side) but having an issue locating some 20A MK C Type RCBOs at a decent non RRP price (I ain't paying £30 odd quid each - yes for my own garage I'm a cheap git :P ) (sockets are for compressor / other stuff with decent...
OK we are told RCBOs are the way to go.
Agreed.
Because this will do away with using a RCD but, and I guess this has been questioned and possibly answered before, why buy an RCBO that only protects phase side (single pole RCBO) of the cct?
Have I missed something?
Do we put in one RCD!?
Fred
Any one know where one could get double pole RCBOs at a reasonable price...please.
I now there have been some opinions about SP RCBOs and there usage so whats the general concensus?

Hi guys
Does anyone know if the old Hager boards with the 1361 fuses will take a RCBO and if so what type ?
I have found Hager RCBOs but not sure if they are compatible.
Thanks to any replies in advance.
now i have a question that will test one of you
i have a number of dorman smith 32a type b rcbos in one of the buildings where i work, they are in the off position however there is still power out the load side the switch will not stay up at all.
ive put it down to the rcbo defective but ive...
Hi All
Wanted to get feedback on this idea.
I have 3 fuse boards which trip frequently whenever there is a lightening storm nearby. My electrician friend has suggested he swaps all the MCB's with RCBO's so that individual circuits trip rather than the whole board. Each board currently has a...
Any one got or know where I can get two 6A Contactum RCBOs (90603SP/B) to replace 71 type MCBs. The new Contactum RCBOs do not fit and and no one I have talked to has the old ones in stock. I am being quoted over £80.00 each + VAT for a wholesaler to order them from Contactum. At that price I...

Just a quick question anyone no why some rcbos ie dorman smith have two trailing leads a neutral and also an earth when other rcbo just have one the neutral lead
Can anyone tell me what the CSA of the small earth tail and neutral are one an Single module RCBOs, the ones in question I'm looking at are the new Schneider Acti 9s but seems to be of same size on most RCBOs. Just wondered as i haven't got any on hand currently.
This is so i can buy the right...
Dear all,
I have to protect a 13 amp ring main which is currently protected by a type b rcbo.The circuit is going to be used by step down transformers from the US.Notorious for tripping on start up.I thought a change to a type D rcbo would cure this,however neither MEM or Crabtree make a type D...
Had some rcbo's to retrofit to some dorman smith 3 phase db's earlier and it occurred to me as I was fighting past the other cables in the 72 way board that they are actually a nightmare to fit in a busy as heck board. Why they so bloody long?!?!
I wanted to add a couple of sockets by the windows of a small clothes shop. The easiest way, I thought, was to create a new, radial circuit. The C.U. is a Steeple and there are two spare ways into the board.
The existing circuits are protected by RCBOs so I bought a new one from Denmans.
When I...
I had five out of eight Niglon RCBOs fail to respond to the test button today/yesterday . Three 6A, and two 16A . One of the 16A 'blew' / 'exploded inside', after pressing the button a few times. Wasted half a day because of it :banghead:
Anyone else? I'm just wondering if there's a wider...
