BG mini RCBO.
got some of these to fit this week. {filename} | ElectriciansForums.net

look the dog's bollox. no functional E either.
 
Let us know how you get on and what you think - one of my suppliers wants me to use them ....................... now, if BG did "bundled" pricing it may be a good idea.......
 
Just out of interest how much are they? (PM please if you want to keep rices private)
 
they're £24 from screwfix. 6 way board with just a 100A main switch is £23 . makes all RCBO boards ( up to a certain size) quite competitive. open forum, but everyone can see prices at the screwfux .
 
Let us know how they are in terms of alignment and sitting well on the busbar, Have had issues with BG of late with MCBs and RCDs not aligning too well and making it awkward putting cover back on.
It wont be long before they do them in bundles and preloaded boards.
 
Done a board the other day with these, there not to sad. I know BG aint everyones cup of tea but for the money there good in my opinion.
I really like the enclosures as they are very solid with plenty of room but then they fill them with utter crap components, and have I mentioned the terminal screws.
 
I'd have to disagree, I always find them just as good as any [and often much more expensive] other brand. I've probably installed well over a hundred of these compact RCBOs already across a dozen or so new CUs, every terminal has been fine, they line up nice and straight and every test has turned out very well [Usually around 9-10 milliseconds on both x1 and x5 in my experience]. And as previously mentioned the BG busbar is the most substantial out there, far better than some of the flimsy rubbish that other 'quality' brands provide.

Fair point on the busbar, must be good for 500+ amps.
