Wylex if rcbo’s and mk If split.would go hager all the time but they stupid trunking knockouts make no sense to me.just leave the top and bottom of the board solid mental and drill it to suit for tail gland etc.really was surprised by the contactum board but can’t get it anywhere .wouldint touch bg had problems with rcds on them years ago.

You can get the Hager Design 30 CU's with or without knockouts (top & bottom).

I've been using Hager for split load and Lewden for RCBO for a bit now. I was using MK for everything (in spite of the RCBO cost!) but recalls on RCBOs and Main Switches have put me right off.
I quite like the look of the reduced height RCBO Hager displayed at the ELEX in Coventry recently, but my wholesaler cant get any joy with obtaining even a price or a schedule for release.
I found myself with a Schneider Easy 9 domestic board last year, and it wasn't half bad either. (Lack of) Availability was what put me off.
Anybody ever used one of the Chint boards poofix are flogging now? They don't look too bad inside, but the logo put me off....
I raised this with the rep at the same ELEX and he just said "I know, but they're (the powers that be) aren't listening..." I know it's a silly point really, but no one wants an object in their house that calls them a See You Next Tuesday :0

RS do Schneider Easy 9 about £2.50 for mcb and £25 for rcbo.
I use a lot of them and Acti 9. both are easy to install and keep reasonable neat.

i hate the easy 9. try feeding 10 2.5mm T/E up the left side. covers the N block. no room at top for RCBOs, incomer is arse about face. din rail is bang up to the back of the box, so no room to sweep L's behind the MCBs.

Perhaps we should collective (forum members), set up our own design company, commission something that would encompass all these ideas, patent it, and make a frigging fortune. Or is that pie in the sky
