Going to sign up for my part p next week - I have a lovely CU change in a small bungalow to do which I will submit for the inspection.

Going with Elecsa.

The small bungalow only has:
1 ring final
1 lighting circuit
1 shower
1 16a feed for the boiler

I'm just thinking that I can put in a small board with 1 RCD or do I really need to split and use a dual RCD board?

I'm just asking myself, why would you leave a single ring circuit to supply all of this small bungalow's power. At least provide another ring to supply the kitchen's power requirements....

It wouldn't be a bad idea either, to have the light near the CU location on a separate MCB. Far better than the bungalow being in total darkness trying to find the tripped lighting MCB at the CU.

As for CU type i'd always, always go with the all RCBO route, especially on this size of installation, and the bundles that are available at relatively low cost....

EDIT...
Ooooops ....read CU change as ''Rewire'' lol!!!
or an A2 radial eng....
 
I'd go with a "16th Edition" board and put the ring on it's own RCBO. That's if there is just 4 circuits and wanting to do it cheap but still get a sensible level of discrimination. Fire alarm (if they opt for one) on the the non-RCD side if you can route the cables as to not require RCD protection

Still waiting on feedback for the Curve/ wilts plus £12.50 RCBOs....sounds too cheap to be good until further notice :wink5:
