Here's the biggish spare (I can't get to the medium-sized one today)
the RCBO is tall and thin, so it only takes up one module. In my previous pic there are (counting from the right) two MCBs, a blank, and then three RCBOs with a space between each for future use. You can just make out the black "test" button near the top. Most of my spare RCBOs are in crates to the right of the pic
why does that first CU look like its floating or hanging from the ceiling?
I asked about the RCBO pods because 1. i've never seen them and 2. it happened that you had spaced the RCBOs out, but not the other devices, seemed logical to ask if they required this
It's on melamine-faced chipboard, spaced off the wall on 50mm sq timbers so the cables come in from behind.
Because the RCBOs come with a coil of Neutral (and very thin white functional earth) I've spaced then a bit to give room for the spare wire; I haven't cut it short in case I need to move them. TBH I think the MEM 2000AD is a bit short on space when you have a lot of devices in it. The Memshield are a lot roomier but very much more expensive. That's why I was considering reverting to the 2000 (the double-decker). Alternatively I might cut the openings in the AD back bigger and use the space behind the board to lead them in more smoothly.
I plan to use additional ways when I split off the outdoor sockets and outdoor lighting which is currently on FCUs.
