Split MCBs on consumer unit

[Mazak]

Hi all.
How would you split MCBs where there are two ring final circuits (so better separate them). There is one electrical shower (will be on 40A).
Any ideas?
TNS system.

have you taken that out a cant put it back ?

Love the wood veneer backing in that consumers unit , very retro

 

[buzzlightyear]

does it not come complete with metal backing or is the wood the back box like the old wylex consumer units .

 

[Mazak]

My gosh, any serious people here... Grrr

 

[Mazak]

have you taken that out a cant put it back ?

I can put it back but you cannot read the question.

 

[Baddegg]

Those ARE the serious ones......

 

[Dustydazzler]

what made your emove all the gubbins in the first place ?

Bit of a random question. But if it was me I would put shower sockets and lights on one side. And sockets whatever the 16amp breakers for and the other lighting circuit on the other rcd.

As above, ring main, lighting and Shower on 1 side and the other ring main, lighting and 16A on the other.

Hope your main OCPD is 63A or less.

Also MK are dog shyte mains boards, get a hager for the same price and thank me later.

Wheres the SPD?

 

[Andy78]

I'd use RCBOs

 

[buzzlightyear]

Wheres the SPD

the special police detective is on the beat .LOL.

 

[Dustydazzler]

SPD

yet to have a customer ask for one of those

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Of the around 10ish mains changes ive done this year only 1 has turned down the SPD.

Oh didn’t realize it was down to the customers to do the design..
I can rip out that whole new section on SPDs

 

[Mazak]

I forgot to add that there is only one circuit for lightning.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Id RCBO the lighting then 100 percent

 

[Mazak]

I forgot to add that there is only one circuit for lightning. So that is why I would do like on photo.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

As above, RCBO for the lighting as a minimum.
