    RCBO curve

    I’m probably going to look stupid here, but it will be worth it if I get the answer 😆, as I can’t fathom it out. I’ve never really thought of it before, but….. A circuit breaker comes in curves B, C, and D. Now we all know it’s mostly to do with the in rush of current ( layman terms) but the...

    Testing RCBO x5 times

    Hello everyone, Is it necessary to test RCBO x5? Some say that you can’t even test at x5 times because it can damage RCBO. Others that you can, but we don’t put the result in testing sheets. I found a recommendation that it is advisable to test x5. Cheers

    One RCBO killing entire board?

    I had a 6amp RCBO feeding a 2.5mm radial ( temporary measure) It tripped, as I expected would But once tripped, all the other circuits went dead? I replaced with a 16amp RCBO, powered on, and everything back to normal? What could have caused this?
