Discuss Suitable RCBO for EESS install in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I mistyped 'I can see' meant to type Can't.
I work for a renewable energy company that install PV systems and battery storage and one of the lads mentioned that the tutor on the PV and battery course said that RCBOs are not suitable as they are not Bi directional. Since then i've been trying to get confirmation or any info from manufacturers on this and getting no joy, as a rule we install a new DB but on some retro fits an RCBO would be ideal as installing a separate board would cause to much disruption. Very Frustrating.
Update....have also just had confirmation from WCED that their full range of RCBO, RCD and MCB are bi-directional and suited to solar/EESS installsHi all....just catching up on the subject of bi-directional devices, having recently undertaken the EESS course. I usually fit Elucian boards but don't have an answer on whether their RCBOs are bi-directional at the moment, however I have just downloaded a Proteus datasheet which clearly states that their Type A devices ARE bi-directional
Electrium / Wylex / Crabtree now have a declaration of conformity that states that their single module compact RCBOs are bi-directional:Relating to this discussion I saw this today:
Basically it says if they are marked line/load or have direction arrows they are not suitable, which seems to rule out the Wylex compact RCBO as they have direction arrows on them.
