Screwfix BG RCBOs

Can I ask. Why would it make any difference? I would imagine they come with neutral lead. A lot of them don't come with earth cables now

 

Go into a screwfix store and ask if you can have a look at one to see if it does come with the blue wire.
I know Wylex still have the earth and neutral wire supplied with the RCBO.
The guys they have filling in the details of the products on the website don't pay much attention to detail like that and it is annoying at the best of times.

 

ALL RCBO's come with a Neutral fly lead. . .your sparks will advise you on any electrical aspects

 

WRONG! Not ALL RCBOs come with a fly lead.

 

As there is no N In terminal screw, there must be a fly lead

 

well you would like to think so. However rember that get out correct at time of going to print and specs subject to change without notice. So the photo may not even show the actual version of the product you will recive.

 

Well there has to be a neutral connection of some sort, if not a fly-lead a terminal to connect to although I've not come across one like that yet.

 

me neither just pointing out the norm dont take the pic as thats what you will get

 

It's not coiled and there is no earth lead. I kept the neutral tidy by forming the cable into a sort of loop behind it. For some reason I don't think your allowed to shorten the lead either, though I can't remember why.

 

SBS do a RCBO CU where there is 2 bus bars at the bottom. 1 live - 1 neutral.

 

Link Please. . .I await to be corrected

"only downside the compact RCBO's can be a bit wobbly on the din rail"

Thats the cruncher, shall not be using them then. .

 

I accept your apology.

 

Looks neat enough and could be useful in some circumstances. I suppose the only drawback is that it wouldn't comply with the necessary BS, ie, not type tested etc? Not that it would necessarily bother me that much but just thinking along the lines that we're not really even supposed to use a different manufacturers mcb's etc!

 

Never heard of not being able to shorten them. Always have done keeps the board nice and neat. Always re bootlace the end and it's fine. Have extended them too.

 

They're very common in several parts of the world, including the south of Ireland. You won't see single pole RCBOs used in the south of Ireland.

 

So about 18 replies and we still don't know why he wanted to know? ?

 

Would love to have DP RCBO's. .
