So im driving miles into the sticks to wire in a shower at a hotel, new circuit.
I ask the maintenance man to email a picture of the DB so I can get the right RCBO.
He has just sent this:

He is no longer on site.
Any clues about the brand anyone?
I know that it is a 3 phase board with spare ways, less then 10 years old.
 
Ask the plank for a make off the switchgear.

Typing in TPN12 as a part number comes up with Lewden/CGD/Europa. Rather you than me.

When I first asked him he said the brand was 'RCBO', hence I asked for the photo.
He is home now and less use then when he was on site.
Nice chap though.
I tried TPN12 and got almost every brand out there then realised that it probably stands for 12 way triple pole and neutral.

It does.

Ha, bless him.
Yes obviously TPN12 would describe a 12 way board of any brand, but the above mentioned brands (which I believe are all of the same ilk) actually use that as a product code for a TP+N 12 way DB.
With that being listed as the "part number" on the label I would say that there is a good chance of those brands being the ones.
 
I can see 2 trips happening tomorrow, more expense for them then.
I will take a random selection of RCBO's and see if I'm lucky.
Didn't want to have to charge them for wasting my time if possible, oh well.
