Hi all, I've been a sparky for a few years now, but have never converted 2 boards into one' eg on and off peak board.

I have seen this done, but just wanted to clarify that this is okay and I would like to still use 2 rcds for main part eg 5 circuits for minium disruption ect, so I was thinking I could use a main switch and then put the three immersion cuivuits on rcbos, thisis can just use a 16 way board?

What are the circuits that were originally "off peak" going to be used for??
 
Thanks murdock, would you say it was easy enough using a standard board if costs come out alot less?

Anyone know a website so I can look at this duel tarrif board as I cannot find anything?

Decided the better and cheaper option is to use 2 main switches answer rcbos cheaper option from wholesalers by about ÂŁ50
For a hager duel board it was about ÂŁ250
With rcbos ÂŁ220 but being online for about ÂŁ175 all in

Good idea ehh??
