Discuss Connecting Dual RCD board. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

As luck would have it, I just fitted a BG board that the customer had supplied.

Populated split RCD board, 10 way (5+5)
You can just about see how the internal connections are made.

Note the ferrules crimped onto the ends of the internal links.

A couple of issues. The busbar needs cut. Comes as a 15 way and needs to be 2x 6… but as you can see here, the RCDs are physically deeper than the MCBs, so the bus at sits at a slight downhill slant.
This in turn gives all the breakers a slant and it’s near impossible to get the cover back on.
Secondly, one of the 16A MCBs is faulty, doesn’t click on.
Third. The 35mm knockout for a tails gland is below the RCD. Would have made sense to put it on the right where there’s plenty space.
I was moaning about this very morning regarding the location of the 30mm knockout, you have to assume that it’s not designed by sparks ?
