I have a Square D Consumer Unit in an occasionally used house. There is an RCCB main switch and MCB's for each circuit. The cooker (probably due to damp in an element due to infrequent use and low heating level) causes the house to trip out on occasion. To alleviate the problem (perhaps), it has been suggested I replace the cooker MCB with an RCBO, in the hope that only the cooker trips in future. I now have a suitable compatible Square D RCBO, but...
Inside the Consumer Unit, the load Neutral is terminated at the top left hand side of the Unit, whereas it is needed at the bottom.
Is there an acceptable way to detach the Neutral cable (6squaremm) and extend it by about 200mm so that it can be connected into the RCBO? Replacing the cooker cable into the Consumer Unit does not appeal!
