I may need to apologise in advance for this when someone with better knowledge than me reads this !!!!
I am looking at a job fitting a new board in a hotel ( small B+B) They currently have 2 boards running from 40 metres of 16mm twin and earth, split in a henley between both , We are slowly modernising the hotel and ive advised them that one new board fed with a SWA would be alot more suitable and safer than this altough the load pulled at any one time is not great,
Trouble is I need a 20 or more way board, owners would like RCD protection but I cant find anything suitable, which would allow me to split up the circuits as I would for a 17th edition board,
So ive been thinking what about using a three phase board with sinlge phase kit fitted but remove the main switch and replace with 3no RCBO's and no switch for the neutral but there would be a main switch back at the incoming supply for the whole board,
Any ideas anyone ?
