[QUOTE="SBS Dave, post: 318597, member: 22030"] Hi Special Location, Thanks for posting photos of the install, featuring my Compact RCBO board. I like how you have cut holes in the back box exactly where you want them and moved the earth bar to suit the existing earths. These were two of the benefits I mentioned on my initial post, so it is nice to have proof of their versatility. I also take your point about the RCBOs being fairly loose on the DIN rail and you can see the RCBOs leaning over slightly. However, the box I shipped to you had 6 RCBOs in it, the other 2 filling up the space where the 2 blanks now are. Those blanks seem a little undersized and don't prevent the RCBOs from leaning. The original lid had 2 x fixed blanks like the one to the left of the Main Switch, which would have done a better job of holding the assembly together. Price of that board as shown is £67.83 + VAT and you will find all the prices on my SBS Trade Sales Forum post. The Compact RCBOs are £13.00 each + VAT. The price is higher than your Split Board, but there is no nuisance trip and a Split Board wouldn't fit, unless you mounted it vertically. Which means the existing wires would need extending and the whole job would take at least 1 hour longer to install, which negates the savings made on the Split Board. SBS Dave [/QUOTE]
