Morning everyone, I have a customer with an old CLICK consumer unit, the MCBs are DB132, DB106, DB116 etc. Does anyone know if the new CLICK elucian range of RCBOs fit this board? I have a picture of the consumer unit (Looks like a bomb has went off) if needed. Appreciate any answers.

Kind regards.
 
To fit RCBOs you'd have to strip it down anyway as it's such a mess. The breakers are falling apart on the RCD side too.
If the intention is to replace all of the lighting circuit B6 breakers, then it would cost about £80 for the parts.
A brand new loaded dual RCD BG unit is £65. Now I wouldn't ideally fit that these days as it's Type AC RCDs.
But for £115 you could get an Mk Sentry Dual (type A) RCD with SPD (Screwfix special offer!).
Tell the customer that's less than £1 per year over the expected lifetime of the new board.
 
I wish I had never took the job on in the first place, the customer seems very awkward and considering hes a doctor lacks common sense. Ive only been self employed for two months after being on the books for fifteen years so ive been a bit scared to say no to some jobs. Learning curve and my fault really. Appreciate the advice given though everyone.
 
If not having any of it walk away.what a snakes nest, it's some thing what David attenbough would say.

Damn straight, that con unit surely predates 2007 brown/blue, so what is it, a rewire thats retained an old unit? or some new old stock from someones shed? <shudder>

Don't beat yourself up we've all been there, I've got one right now I should/could/wanted to have walked out on in December but it owed me 3 days and some materials so foolishly tried to rescue.

20 years plodding by myself you think I would have learnt by now eh.
