Wylex RCBO SP Replacement.

[Soulsurfer]

Hi all, does anyone know of any other manufacturers single module RCBO that could slot in and replace a Wylex NSBS 32A type C ?

Screw heads on existing one are smashed to bits & not tightening onto cables enough when checked.

Thanks.

Well buy a new wylex RCBO then. You shouldn't be fitting other manufacturers RCBO's in there.

Especially when there so available and cheap.

Same as what Brightspark said, also have you got a torque screwdriver to tighten to manufacturers instructions? :smile5:

I have Wiha Torque drivers but the install sparks have put in a ring for ground then spurred a 3rd cable off for a socket next to the CU and when doing a test on DB as my parents just moved in to this place. The RCBO Line cables pulled out & head of the screws are chewed up loads so can't tighten right !

Just thinking soulsurfer, wylex changed the code from nsb to nhx for their rcbos and breakers.

Just go somewhere like screwfix and get a replacement and probably best for b curve for domestic.

Just got hold of every wholesaler here in Jersey on the rock & my mate has 1 left ! B curve too so should be sorted although design of clamp inside that holds cables is V shape rather than squared like Hager so may need to fit that 3rd spurred cable to its own RCBO also. As the Wylex one doesn't seem happy holding on 3 x 2.5's as its been wired!!
