High integrity or split load CU

[TPES]

I rang my wholesalers today and asked for a price on a high integrity consumer unit saying it needs to have the 3 neutral bars. he left me 5 mins and rang me back with a price.

He said it comes with a 100a isolator and that's it, I asked how is it split... Like a 5+5+2 ect.... He then said "what you on about? You asked for a high integrity board not a split load" any other wholesalers I've asked in know exactly what I mean.. So which one of us is wrong?

I've always understood high integrity to be pre configured as main switch with useable ways on it and 2 x RCD's split across remainder of board.

There always seems to be confusion with wholesalers of what each means...

split load( like 5 n 5) and usable ways for rcbo`s....your right .....he`s being an emptyhead.........

Hi TPES, You are correct, but perhaps might have been better describing it as a High Integrity Dual RCD Board. He is arguably correct, offering a Main Switch Board, as a "High Integrity Board" because it has no RCDs, but that's not the industry accepted definition. Doh!
