Yes - I think that must have been the default setting when I joined as I don't recall changing that. Anyway, I've changed the setting and also responded to your request.

Why's it stupid? I like the North/East/South/West split, which is all incomming cables from the North, all neutrals go East, all go earths West, all lives go south.
The facts that it doesn't have either lever or test button, and clearly goes down too far to be connected to the busbar, were also clues
Kind Regards, John
I just mean swapping the N and E bars over
Because you have a big chuck of unnecessary neutral tail snaking it's way across the back of the RCBOS taking up valuable space.
If the neutral bar was on the left and the earth bar on the right (As with the EAD12), there would be no appreciable difference in wiring technique, and the neutral bar would connect to the main switch with a busbar (as the EAD12 does)

It's just the stickers, isn't it?
I think all CUs are like that - not necessarily 'on the right' but depending on what you want.
Why don't they just supply the g/y and blue strips to be stuck on where you require instead of having to scrape them off and replace?
well in the EAD12 the Neutral bar is connected directly to the bottom of the main switch with a bit of what is essentially a busbar, so in that case it's not a case of swapping the stickers, cos it's fixed. It's a good choice though because it means you don't have the neutral tail at all (there's no picture in the brochure of it configured this way though)
Ah, that is neat. I have no idea why N and E would be swapped on this as that seems like a good solution.
Ha. I'd already failed to find pictures.
Yea the Eaton brochure is old and not very picture centric
This method is obviously only good for 'main switch' consumer units for RCBO installs, but it's a very neat solution.
