Split load kit

[Essex]

Client has 16th edition board with 1 RCD and wants 2 RCD's

Gonna get a split load kit and RCD as board is ok.

Can I issue a MWC or do I have to do a full EIC?

I doubt there will be enough boxes for all of the circuits that now have RCD protection on them?

Unless your new RCD is only going to protect 1 circuit of course?

Spose it may be feasible to argue multiple MWC's one for each modified circuit..

What do you think?

Personally I think ANYTHING involving direct work/alteration/addition/modification to a CU necessitates a full EIC..

and most probably notification to LABC!

EIC and why not replace the MCB's on the non RCD side of the board with RCBO's? It would save space and time.

+1. A forum sponsor does cheap rcbos for about 12 quid each I think. See if they will fit your board. What board is it mate

Thanks, I did consider RCBO's but the cost (

Do the Proelec fit without having to tweak the busbar?

I've never directly tried a Pro elec rcbo. But I have fitted Wylex mcb's into a pro-elec CU and fitted pro-elec mcb's in a wylex board.

So if pro-elec mcb's fit, you I would expect the rcbo's to also fit.
