Hi,
Quick question. Is it OK to shorten the Neutral tails on RCBOs to keep the wiring neat? There are two reasons why I'm wondering, firstly I seem to remember reading somewhere that they shouldn't be shortened. The other reason is that they have a nice bootlace ferrule crimped on the end of the tail which would be a bit pointless if the lead's going to be cut down to length.
Same regarding the earth lead I suppose, which again is miles longer than needed although not so bulky so less of a problem.
Thanks in advance, Tony S
