Hi,
I have a job for a customer, the consumer unit is an old 3036 board and there are several holes in it giving access to live parts, I can change the consumer unit but when put on an RCD the sockets trip. IR readings on the sockets are low but the customer isn’t in a position to have them rewired at the minute (recently decorated and cost) can I replace the consumer unit, put all circuits on RCBOs but leave the sockets on an MCB?
Can this be put in the departures section?
I understand not ideal just trying to find a way to at least make this safer than it is
