I stupidly bought a blank unit that only came with the main switch.Can we have a photo?
normally, the tails go into a main switch, then there are made up tails feeding each of the rcds from the load side of the switch.
These should be included in the consumer unit what purchased.
I don’t think these are compulsory yet?And don’t forget the SPD
I can’t seem to find a kit for dual RCD where the lives are linked. The other thing I’ve noticed is when you bend the tails to fit them it’s difficult to not have exposed copper, as the insulation pulls away. Any idea where you get shrouds from.Well, I think you can buy a conversion kit which has the right link cables at the right lengths.
your 17 way board will only be 13 when you add in a couple of rcds
Sadly too late for that. Unpacked, knockouts removed and fitted on the wall.If i were you i would return it and buy the correct board of a different brand. Or I would use rcbos and abandon the dual RCD plan, bg ones are not that expensive.
It's flexi tails usually used for dual rcd with crimped ends, not normal tails. I would use rcbos rather than building my own dual rcd board. Have you already bought rcds etc?Sadly too late for that. Unpacked, knockouts removed and fitted on the wall.
That’s fine, the ”customer“ is me. I’m a newby electrician, so I thought it best to make all the mistakes on my own house first ?not compulsory, but the customer has to "opt out" of having it.
I think Screwfix are trying to sell off their non-spd BG boards on special offers.
Same advert said "buy this, and get 25% off 25mm tails"
Yeh... on blue and brown 6181Y... no mention of the 6491X green/yellow
Oh baby,you not Fred dibners son are you. Lol.That’s fine, the ”customer“ is me. I’m a newby electrician, so I thought it best to make all the mistakes on my own house bang first.
