That looks like a CTI unit.

Current ones have different coloured breakers but the shape and design look the same.
Obviously not ... but any opinions on how CTI (Wylex generic NH fit) RCBOs might compare quality wise with the more expensive Wylex NH product?
Going in a Wylex CU.
Big difference in price - Wylex being nearly double the price of CTI.
I hate to see a board with mixed CBs. It looks crap and you never know if the busbar spacing/depth is the same.
Why not buy a CTI one? You can get them here http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Electrical/CircuitProtection/d190/sd2615
PS ever heard of Google???. I got this in 0.00000001 of a...
CTI is use around windows or along skirting sometimes. Paint should not be wet? What sort of paint? Was it gloss or emulsion. If gloss was it acrylic or alkid?
Great CTI seems good for tricky situations - like wet or damp but if its dry then no need for the extra expense I would of thought.
Stixall it is then.
Ask yourself why it's half the price of Wylex, themselves a cheap brand.
Also, by mixing brands you'll have no valid guarantee against either CTI or Wylex.
Are Chint and CTI the same product rebadged by the importer ? Ive fitted a Chint RCD and it was very poor quality and i had to get a replacment as it would not latch even with the power off.
Niglon are in the same league as efforts such as CTI, ECU, Cudis, and all those other 'brands' no one ever heard of.
Testing the RCD should never cause an MCB to trip.
Replace the MCB at least, personally I would replace both.
Didnt realise that CTI wernt as safe as Hager - i thought a breaker was a breaker :oops:
I thought it was like computer memory where you dont have to use the expensive brands as they all do the same job!
Hager it is then :wink:
