Don't know about that mate but I'd trust it with 100 amps for sure.

I really like the enclosures as they are very solid with plenty of room but then they fill them with utter crap components, and have I mentioned the terminal screws.

Really, i find the terminals alright. The built in level swings it for me as well. Saves a trip to the tool bag.

£12.50 +VAT at TLC Direct, nothing wrong with them using loads of them, I bought a shed load of 6 rcbo pre loaded boards from screwfix when they were getting rid of them at £59 each!

I've had no problems with BG boards, a few years ago the "wings" of the dolly switch on the MCB's where too long and wouldn't fall into the off position in the event of a fault.

Hager prices in Northern Ireland are nowhere near competitive for single face Consumer Units.

That screwfix price for the compact RCBO is shyte though.

just looked on TLC - £15+ vat.

I’m using Lewden RCBOs at the minute £10 each plus vat (no functional earth either) seem pretty good too !!

Lewden?!? Where? Haha. Tell matey on the other thread he is about to change a temp db tomorrow as he can't get one lol

I had problems with these and ouside emergency lighting, did all dead tests and was fine left for a few weeks then power was put on and when i turned them on it tripped instantly so went and had a look and tested the circuit at the last light and had a direct short to earth and it was due to these rcbo all 5 of the circuits had the same but when taken the rcbo out and tested it it was fine swapped with a normal rcbo and all was good. So i basically don't like them

my bad. the £15 was inc. VAT. better than £24 at screwfux.

 

[Baker1988]

I didnt IR with the rcbo in i did a continuity and it was straight live to earth then disconnected it and ir tested and all was fine, and i dont know what the problem was as far as i can tell it was just the rcbo as i changed it to a standard rcbo with earth fly lead and all was fine

 

[Bobster]

Are they double pole like the SPS ones?

Are they double pole like the SPS ones?

if you mean the BG RCBOs, i don't thing so.

 

[Bobster]

if you mean the BG RCBOs, i don't thing so.

I meant SBS not SPS, like these:

Looking at the fact the picture you've posted has a neutral lead attached, I would say they're only single pole switching.

Ohh missed this one. Just as a comparison, Wylex compact DP RCBO's are £42.49 (SF). But I reckon you'll get them cheaper at wholesalers;
