Haha of course you would say that. Not used a RCBO as find them more sensitive and don’t want it to trip.

Cables are nicely enclosed in the trucking. Proper job you see

Some of you may remember this https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/separate-circuit-direct-from-supply-to-bypass-main-cu.557231/page-6#post-4786230 I’ve just finished the work this morning, really easy and straight forward, see attached. Got a sparky coming in this week to test the RCD function...

Thanks but I’m following the advice that I deem is useful to me.

Just getting all the kit ordered I need. Can anyone recommend a nice CU box for me? Seem these part populated ones that seem good value. Not sure weather to go RCD or RCBOs? https://www.screwfix.com/p/crabtree-starbreaker-4-module-2-way-populated-garage-consumer-unit/6947p...

Thanks. It’s not, good thinking though.

Great thanks for the guidance. I see that’s a good idea now

Thanks. I’m not planning on putting a RCBO/RCD on the new circuit just a MCB. Don’t want it to trip you see.

Yep

The main live and neutral wires which go into the two RCDs? So I could take the wires from the top of the RCD?

Thanks. By connecting them to the bars at the top? But I can only see the neutral and earth bars? Live will still have to come from the bottom of the switch?

OK thanks for clearing that up for me. Makes sense. Way of doing it without accessing main switch? No sorry I’m not sure, could you expand please? I didn’t see the screws, I though it was just clipped on to the bottom bar.

Don’t worry I’ll be nice and safe. Just don’t understand why I’d not connect my new wires to the top of the main switch with the screw connection, rather than messing about trying to get them to sit in the clipped in bar on the bottom of the switch? Please help me to understand if you can :)

Ok thanks Nor sure what the point of the forum is if people can’t ask questions and learn. I’ll give it a go and work it out...

But I’d like to do it myself?
