dangers on type c for domestic help

[DYCHE4230]

Your right Jason it does give ELI figures, although they are low, but still if your readings are less then I don't see the problem either?? maybe someone can thro some light on this as the OSG says that the prohibitive factor is the Zs???????

Hi,
Just bought 3x Wylex type B RCBO's online from Gil-Lec. Previously I contacted Wylex (via Electrium online) to find out if they still manufacture type B's and they replied that they do.

Hope this is helpful.

Hager also still make b types. Just fitted a few.

One good thing about type c rcbo or mcb in a domestic lighting circuit because of it's higher tolerance doesn't always trip when a lamp blows.
As for the zs cos it's a rcbo the maximum allowed shoots up to 1666 ohms and if your measurements are that high debating between type b and c would be the last thing on my mind!

AS its an rcbo and therefore an RCD with overcurrent as long as it complys with Ib<In<Iz for the overload and the RCD complys with ZsIdn<50v then shurely its ok?
