    Identifying an old Wylex CU Breaker

    I was asked to "just fit a bigger breaker" by a plumber who had installed an electric shower for a customer. Bit surprised he hadn't finished the task but I arrived with a DIN rail full of conventional, spring fitted MCB's. I've seen a fair amount of old kit (East London rentals are full of the...

    Which Wylex CU

    I intend installing a Wylex CU with spd, as a secondary CU in my house. Not installed many Wylex CU’s, but see they have a couple of different designs. Want to use the smaller switched neutral RCBO’s. Which one would you recommend?

    Two new Wylex RCDs both failed tests

    Folks, A bit baffled (not difficult) ... added a light switch in a rental this week (empty property so no social distancing issues) and checked the RCD before I signed off. It was a Wylex 80a 30mA and it failed all tests (inc. ramp) so I like-for-like replaced it. The new one also failed all...
