[Sharpend]

I can’t remember the company on here ‘Dave’ but not sure if he is still about.

There are other options at the lower end of the scale these days - Fuseboard is one of them

 

[Sharpend]

Yes that’s what want?

Never used them. Are they Double Pole?

Fuseboard or fusebox?

Fuseboard or fusebox?

my bad. Fusebox

Have installed a few BG units, board with isolator less than £30 and RCBOs £15 to £20. I like them and RCBOs are same size as MCBs

 

[Sharpend]

Double pole Rev?

 

[kerching]

It think fusebox and BG are both SP

I have yet to fit a Fusebox unit. I was with Deke on this one and if cost is/was an issue then it's a CGD/Lewden/Denmans Curve board with RCBOs SP

You can get double pole Fusebox RCBOs - https://www.expertelectrical.co.uk/fuse-mini-rcbos-type-a-ac

Few pounds more expensive than SP.

I've fitted a few of them, I like the design and they feel decent quality for the price.

Fuse box I’ve been fitting them for a while now even better now there no earth lead off the rcbo
Fitted an mk in my own house not a fan of them cheaply made, earth leads off the rcbo’s and a bit tight above the breakers to the neutral and earth bars

Fusebox everytime for me. Loads of room, competitively priced and good quality. Rcbos dont twist on din rail when torquing up. Look on Expert Electrical website.

Double pole Rev?

yes as far as I can tell.

If you mean does the neutral disconnect at the same time as the phase then yes, but it's because the neutral is dragged along with the phase and not a 3mm gap as far as I know, the only one's I found and used are Hager which are true double pole RCBO's but they are double width, think Legrand do them as well. Forgot to add no earth or fly lead on the Hager.

Checkout lamplec.co.uk as they stock fusebox and do good deals on loaded units. You can specify what rcbos you want.

Fitted quite a few now. Neat units plenty of room and yes mini rcbos are dp.

Interesting about the Fusebox RCBOs not being 'true' Double Pole. I shall have to do some research

Never used them. Are they Double Pole?

And the answer is…….
