Wylex busbar?

[Ross1]

Any body in the Swansea/neath surrounding area`s have a Wylex busbar at least 7 ways lying around that I could buy off you or know where I could buy one?

Thanks

TLC in Swansea should be able to sell you a busbar.

I can check my van for some off cuts, but dont think I will have a 7 way!

Tried TLC mate, they dont sell seperately.

Mate I've got a 4-way bar in the van if that's any good?

Thanks Ponty massive, but needs to be a 7 way. Ive just changed a cu at a family members house at my expense so I`ve got a DI assessment job. I installed a Wylex 6 way c/w 80A 30ma rcd and a 100A main switch. Stupid me realised after the change over that the 2 lighting circuits are now not protected by an Rcd, where as the old cu the whole installation was on RCD. I cant confirm the depth of the lighting cables in the walls/ routing etc so I have now left the bloody installation in a less safe state that it was previously in....DUH. Now I got to find a new busbar and link the two N bars. Does anyone know if this board alteration will be acceptable from the assessors point of view?

If you modify the product, so it is no longer how the manufacture designed/intended it to be, I believe this is not acceptable.

Think this is mentioned in the regs somwehere.

So every final circuit is protected by one RCD then or have I read that wrong.

No mate, the 2 lighting circuits are now not on an RCD they just come after the main switch.

So if I bridge the 2 Neutral bars, shift the RCD unit next to the main switch and find a new busbar then all final circuits will be on an RCD. Is this classed as modifying a board?

Thanks for the input mate but has anyone else got a different point of view?

£15, is that with VAT. Where in the country are you.

I am also wondering whether I could get away with putting both lighting circuits in the 1 RCBO. Its only a small 2 bed semi?

TLC by me charge £22.50 Ex VAT
