Sources for SPD RCBO type A boards.

Bobble23 · May 3, 2022

Hi all,

With Amendment 2 here has anyone found any good suppliers for SPD and RCBO domestic boards? I've found online a BG SPD + 8 RCBOs for about £190 which is about £40 cheaper than the local wholesaler. Are there any better deals out there for decent boards (I've seen 'Live' offering online a fair bit cheaper but I've never heard of them - has anyone put one in?).

Thanks.

Fusebox seems to be the to-go choice of brand for a decent budget CU. Their compact RCBO are also neutral-switching like Wylex/Crebtree which helps for IR testing.

Lewden are also a reasonable quality at reasonable rates.

Thanks both. I'll have a look at those two.

Contactum Defender 2 is a decent board with SP, reasonably priced, and so are the type A mini RCBO’s.

Can pick them up from TLC Electrical.

The Contactum blanks are really useful as you can cut a block of them out and in half-module widths if needed, handy in some cases:

(Look very similar to Lewden ones)

the rep in local rexel will price match if not beat any online price for bgboards... i paid £160 for a click elucian board, 7 rcbos all type a and spd kit in cef of all places. why not give lewden a go available in denmans and online... well priced
