The electrican might need a cat 5 cable for a ct clamp, I did for mine but others will no better.

Thanks all for your input, just confirmed what I thought. I've told him and he came back with more links to the same things just differently branded. He's gone away looking again, he's wanting to monitor the power usage of the circuits remotely ( America), I've suggested plug in type devices!

I've recently fitted a few of the Forum kinetic ones and been very impressed, there do a standard reciever as well as a wifi one.

Evening all, upgrading a fuse box in a few weeks for a customer, who has abit of an interfering SIL who lives in the states, he keeps banging on about having these smart mcbs, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004153509348.html for reasons I don't know, think hes thinking instead of a RCBO. ...

Link just to the board not sure if you'll get it cheaper else where, I pay 13.50+ for the rcbos and 55+ for the board from wholesalers

What space you actually got and how many ways do you need?

I'd check the lux level, possibly set to only cone in when much darker.

As in testing the AC and A bits of the RCD? What are the requirements for testing an A type RCD? Genuine question as wondering what others are testing on say a 12 way type A rcbo board. Hard Hat on!

Just because it works doesn't make it safe, looks to be quite a bit of copper showing which could make contact with the un earthed back box. I and many members on here don't mind helping but doesn't seem like you want to listen to the proper way it should be done. If the box was deeper you could...

Proper way would be to chase in a deeper back box to be honest

Where do the grey tails on the right go to? Consumer unit? Looks like th E7 isn't connected and terminated in fuse holder.

Just to add to what I've found in the settings the default charge is 50A, the recommended charge rate of the battery is 50A but can be 75A , so if set to 68A I would get fully charged batteries, am I going to do any damage though in your opinion?

I often find the main JB on the landing for downstairs lights and loft for upstairs when I had to search for them. Are the lives looped at switches or have you only got 1 x L and 1 x SL? If looped then the N normally looped though roses and not via a JB. Also worth asking some questions like...

The buzz is normal then, usually more noticeable when dimmed down. All the earth need to be connected together, probably easier taking fly lead from the choc block to the earth terminal of the the switch.

Have you got leds or normal lamps? Also, if it's a metal face plate it needs earthing.
