Doing a kitchen revamp but not happy nice consumer unit an old GE but no rcd only main switch. There is only one ring circuit as is a flat but I know I have to put what I have done on an rcd I can either lollipop it to an rcd enclosure or install a mini consumer unit with rcd and mcb what is best? Oh yeah customer does not want to pay for a whole new cu
 
GE even do those normal MCB sized RCBO's, I assume they had to make them to fit their god awful consumer unit design with the neutral bars behind the MCBs.
 
It's when you use a big cable to feed say an rcd then put the two 2.5's to the load side the analogy is the big cable ( probably 6mm) is the lollipop handle and the ring circuit is the lollipop
 
To hybrid or not to hybrid, that is the question, was this not a recent talking point with the Niceic recently in a newsletter, i vaguely remember reading about one.

@ chopper the classic is taking a cooker circuit, from the switch isolator or the outlet plate, and making a ring main off it. So as varilite has explained this takes the shape of a lollipop.
