[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 558033, member: 2012"] most likely you've got a fault that was always there before the board was changed, however the old one couldn't detect that fault so was never an issue previously. this is a very common problem. which is why most decent electricians will do a full test of the wiring before changing the board and only change it if everything tests good or faults are fixed first and most decent electricians will only fit full RCBO boards and not (arguably non compliant) dual split load boards. at least with an RCBO board, and fault will only take out the affected circuit and not half the circuits and as others have said, that board does look second hand as for refund, small claims court would be your best option. could be messy though and its not likely to be a simple claim [/QUOTE]
