MCB or RCBO

[LankyWill]

I'm with the op on this one, id fit an rcbo in this instance as with it being a pub the internal wiring is probably a right mess. The external aspect is also a major part to play. May not be 'regs' but above and beyond never hurt anyone. Tell the tyrant to come and fit it himself he won't mind paying the extra £10 then

No, I just got sent to sort it out, I don't deal with the cost or what had been agreed

It doesn't state in the regs an rcbo is needed. So fitting one is personal preference as previously mentioned.

The key thing is, your not in a position to pick your own personal preferred pieces of equipment. That's a decision for the boss

Move on from it I wouldn't be losing sleep over it. Fitting of an rcd or rcbo in TN installations is for "additional" protection as required by BS7671, from what you say the fitting of an rcd would not be performing any of these prescribed requirements.

I see no issue providing additional protection (if you are in a position to make that choice),however,you seem to have shot yourself in the foot with the above quote,so sorry Merlin but your boss, being aware that a mcb will do just nicely, its him that has to keep the business viable,best to bite the bullet

I think I've just been spoilt at other companies I've worked for who allowed me to decide what needed to be done and what materials where required as there clients didn't care about the cost, that may explain the Banking crisis then to some extent as it was for all the big banks haha
