Hello, I've worked on a few old lewden boards recently and the quality is terrible. When fitting rcbos in 16th edition boards there's a solid bar that gets in the way of the taller device and they go in wonky enough as is. I was considering swapping it for a 100A flexible link, are any of you doing the same?
 
I wouldn’t both attempting it, surely better to replace the whole lot
I would advise it but if it's just to add RCD protection to lights I can't turn it down as they would be unlikely to stretch to that.

Do the compact rcbos fit.
To be honest I looked through the first four pages from the wholesaler and assumed they didn't exist. Not sure why I didn't type compact to be honest, thanks 😅. They come up on Google but not when searching on rexel or cef, odd.

I'll give that a try on the next one!
