Discuss Used Rcbo's Yay or nay?? in the Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I took off the "disagree" as you are correct, they are not listed but, as has been said numerous times and from numerous scheme's advisors, they are ok for continued use.According to the 18th Ed an rcd spur is not listed as a device for providing additional protection.
It's not the case, the advice I got from NAPIT is it is probably an omission and they advise to continue using them, others have asked their scheme the same question and got the same answer.Anyone know why this is?

ebay RCBO. fit and test. sorted.
Thanks, that's good to know. The bulk of my work is minor additions in domestic, so RCD spurs are often convenient to use.
Your help is very much appreciated, many thanks!
Get the customer to supply the RCBOsBeen asked to carry out some bathroom work including new spots, underfloor heating etc. The existing DB is an old Square D board with no rcd protection at all. Customer wont pay for a new DB, and ive priced a drop in rcbo....... £177 each. Passed this info on to the home owner, and hes complaining (surprise). He's asked me about used ones from eBay etc. Normally i would just say no but there's a few quid in the bathroom works so im trying to find asolution. So, the big question.... Used rcbo yes or no?? I did explain to the home owner that i could offer no guarantee whatsoever for the rcbo if purchased second hand.
Job done at about £40 -£50
