Hi,

Trying to add an RCD to a wylex board that never had one. My issue is to get hold of those flexi cables that connect it to the DP main switch and the neutral bar. I have managed to get a set for a twin RCD board but does anyone know where to buy them in required lengths individually?

Thanks!
 
You could always use twin & earth!!

< waits for critical comment >


What, like thats a bad thing to use inside a domestic consumer unit! Ha!
 
If it never had one, then you must be putting the RCD as the main switch? Or do you have 2 neutral bars?

If you do the 16mm tri rated is what I normally use.

its probable that your old board hasnt got 2 neutral bars neither, by the time you have got an rcd and sourced the tails in question it would be much less hassle just to buy a split load board as a whole

yep....more time than its worth faffing about here.....and the old c/u can be used for a temporary power supply....or for a garage......
