Afternoon All, Purely a curiosity question this but - Hager and most other CU manufacturers in the past had a secondary protection device (MCB) upstream of the SPD. The RCBO board I've bought now takes directly from the 100A incomer and their literature states no upstream protection is...

Morning All, Understanding that BCO's can vary wildly between local authorities, can anyone give some pointers on what they're likely to want to see at the design stage please. I've reached out to my Local Authority BCO to ascertain what they would want to see but would like to prepare myself...

My landing has 2 lights fittings. And at the top of the stairs a double light switch, which would be really really simple were it not for the switch in the dining room which controls both lights regardless of state. The downstairs switch will make or break both lights regardless of the state...
