[QUOTE="SBS Dave, post: 326577, member: 22030"] Hi Adrian, I was certain that my Compacts were true DP, but I took one apart to be sure. The moving part of the switch mechanism, which breaks both poles in the event of an over current, fault current or out-of-balance detection, is solidly a mechanical 2-pole assembly. This means it must always break both L and N when tripped. They would therefore be suitable for the application you describe and @ £13.00 + VAT, it is probably the cheapest option. Hi Evans, If you were fitting Compact RCBO boards instead of Dual RCD ones, not only would nuisance trips be minimised on your testing, but also your customer would not risk half the house going off on occasions. Having to extend circuit conductors to reach MCBs would probably be eliminated on board replacement jobs and my board would probably fit where the old board fitted. SBS Dave [/QUOTE]
