hi can anyone suggest the smallest cu u know looking for 4 way with rcd to fit in a cupboard limited space due to MI and meter only got 210x 170 have been hunting but can't really find anything suitable, just trying on the off chance that some one has been able to source a wee board in the past, without getting Scottish power to move stuff ( obviously additional costs) can’t see a solution
 
You will require a split board so minimum 12 way. 2 ways for main switch 4 ways for 2 rcd's and 4 ways for your mcb's with an extra couple of spare ways for future expansion.
Or a main switch board with 4 rcbs's.

Having whole install on one rcd not a good idea and new regs require you to take this into account. Don't ask reg number, I can't remember and don't have book to hand.

Edit: RCBO idea, beaten to it again by teletrix. Must have been a gun slinger in former life. Quick draw Mc teletrix.
 
done 1 last month. BG board with main switch, 6 useable ways, 4compact BG RCBOs @ ÂŁ24 each from screwfux. ( better price from TLC). no brainer compared to a dual RCD board that's 4 inches wider.
