Hi folks,
Well today I attended another house to perform a bathroom upgrade. Upon visiting the mains board I noticed it was a MEM. Not ideal I thought as my previous experience taught me that RCBOs were not possible with these mcbs. I then noticed that a previous spark had fitted a hager RCBO into the board though so I would try the same. The only trouble was I could not remove the MEM breakers at all??? Slackened the screw to the bus bar and lifted the little locking clip at the top but the little suckers wouldn't come out at all. They were certainly loose but I just couldn't lift them out. This was two breakers I tried so it wasn't just a faulty fitting. In the end I gave up and fitted local RCD protection instead.
So, just curious if anyone has experienced the same and if they knew of a solution??
Many thanks
