to cheap to be good?

Hello all!

Has anyone used this type of RCBO? http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/aub1r-32a/rcbo-single-pole-32a/dp/PL10658

Thank you

You get what you pay for, usually.

I've had the odd bits of Pro-Elec bits from CPC (plugs, sockets, leads, cable ties, connectors etc...) and some of it is fine for budget stuff, other bits are not worth the saving. It's all definitely lowish quality though.

I started a thread on these RCBO's and CU's 17 months ago

never used them. i have used many other pro elec stuff though - used many IP44 plugs/inline RCD's and never had many problems (especially the abuse they get from me)

I don't know who makes this stuff, but again it looks same as Castlec/Niglon/tom dick and harry stuff I've used for a while. Its pretty reasonable gear and hasn't caused me any problems to date apart from one RCD which decicded to stop working after 3 years???
