Could someone tell me what model this CU this is please.
I am thinking about buying a couple of 6A RCBO's and want to know which ones to get.

Do MK do Type C RCBO's ?

Thanks

MCB's labelled 59xx

The current models of RCBO will fit that board.
Probably the eBay type is OK as it looks modern.

Before you rush off to do this do take the cover off the CU and see if there is LOTS of space as the RCBO is much taller than the existing MCBs.

How will you test these RCBOs? Do you have an RCD tester?

The best thing to fit in that CU would be Schneider RCBOs.

The are a different name on the front, but made by the same people who used to make circuit breakers for MK, the type that you have in your CU.

Exactly my mistake RF, Merlin and Square D Scnieder MCBs will fit, but not the RCBOs! Hence my 'ignore me' comment!
 
Ok thanks RF. What about the one in my 2nd post with the small test button at the bottom. Do they fit well?


RF recommended: with top test button
7932S ?
 
They do fit ok, but they don't match your existing circuit breakers, and IMO are not as well made as the old schneider ones were.
 
Out of interest, how easy is it to fit a 2nd RCD and convert the CU to dual RCD on this board? e.g fit an N block and bus bar ? THere appear to be 2 MCB's that aren't required.
 
To be fair by time you've messed about and bought all the bits RCBOs will be as cheap and you end up with a far superior installation.
 
I guess I should buy a B32 RCBO too, and move an important circuit over to the other side. I think I can free a slot up, as I assume the RCD position is fixed.

Thanks for your help RF.
