I currently have a Ring transformer wired up and working. The original door bell had its on transformer that was next to the CU and the wiring was used from that for the Ring setup. I would really like to get rid of the additional box, as its in my hallway and i already have the CU, house alarm and doorbell transformer on the wall.
Looking at the CU, all space for the visible trip switches are taken up, but when removing the cover i can see that there is space on the DIN rail on the right hand side of the CU. This isn't visible once the cover is on.
I have a few questions...
1. Is it safe to have the transformer within the CU?
2. Is it likely the transformer will fit once the cover is back on?
I think this is a fairly simple fix. The wires need pulling back into the CU, extending and the transformer attached to the rail. I dont mind paying someone qualified to do it (despite the fact i think i could do it myself) but i dont really want to call someone out to find that a. they wont or are not allowed to do it and b. it probably wont fit anyway
The CU looks a lot like the one in this link, just with far more wires inside
