All RCBO Board

[hightower]

How on earth do you guys make an all RCBO board look presentable. If I use the length the manufacturer has set I'd have nothing but wire everywhere.

I want to cut them down to size and stick a new ferrule on, but thought I'd grab the consensus here before I do.

I cut and ferrule, what board are you using?

I cut and ferrule as well. I get all earths in place, install the rcbosas I go and wire in circuit by circuit. Here's one I did in a few months ago.

Do any of the manufacturers still make them with the stupid pig tailed neutral lead? Now that's an impossible job to make neat.

I haven't seen any Lee, just on older installs.

Cut and ferrule it is. Hope I can find some small enough for the functional earth's too

I think the Schneider acti 9s are. Might be wrong though.

Smallest size ferrules (violet or light blue) for 0.25 csa do the job.

One of my mentors as an apprentice used to tape the pig tailed leads to the edge of the table so the RCBO was left dangling, then leave them all overnight and connect up the next day!

Pretty ridicolous but it did straighten them up a bit.

RCBO, your mentor......as an apprentice? Must be a young mentor :smilewinkgrin:

Remember, as an apprentice, coming across the occasional VOELCB......the only pig tails I saw were whilst working on a pig farm...and no sign of anything but 3036's. lol.
