It's a neighbours house and when I did my board at home I used an 8 way wylex and RCBOS, this worked out ok but it might be a bit dear for the customer compared to a dual RCD set up. The only issue is the customer had a burglar alarm...

    Protek RCD Replacement???

    Hi guys, Need to replace a faulty Protek 63a RCD. As most wholesalers probably don't stock this brand. Was wandering if a 63a wylex or another alternative would fit straight on the Protek din rail?? Would like to grab one from a local wholesaler tomorrow if possible. Cheers
