My confidence in common sense is largely restored!Wylex just emailed back saying that there is a slight difference in the form factor of the RCBOs, so the cover doesn't sit right! I've dry fitted and the cover sits fine and solid, so I'm not worried! They said aside from this they can be mixed.
I do 'love' some of this modern jargon. I wonder when shape/size became 'form factor', and why?
I suppose one has to wonder why they made a (very small) change in 'form factor', given that it was bound to cause some confusion and/or inconvenience. If, as seems to be the case, the change was very small, one imagines that they could have made it identical to the previous ones.
Kind Regards, John
