compact double poled rcbo's

[rugbymacc]

Hi All

just letting you know that these things are becoming available

and this is their make up





with the copper busbars connecting directly to the Main Switch, see attachments. The board shown is a Volex 7-module, 5-way board, with 4 x CRBs fitted and one way spare. Both Neutral and Live would normally have insulators fitted, giving double-thickness insulation between busbars, but the insulators have been left off in the photo, to show the busbar designs.

Interesting !!

Costs ? any ideas.

but are they DP? (cant see enough detail in the pic)

 

[Zeespark]

I was told by Hager that the engineering to develop single module DP RCBO's simply doesn't exist and that they know of no one who manufactures them in that specification.

rugbymacc,

In your last post above the links don't work, I get the forum url changed error, anyone else get this?

 

[Andy™]

dead link for me aswell

 

[rugbymacc]

showing for me ..... will try again

 

[M107]

Yes I get the url error

 

[ProDave]

Interesting concept.

I would like to see those busbars insulated. Otherwise there's great potential for bad day explode

The only upstream protection being the DNO's fuse.

And dead links for me as well.

 

[rugbymacc]

think the extra info stuff is working

 

[Andy™]

still doesnt say if its DP switching

 

[M107]

It is (the link I mean).

Interesting.

This isnt the board that was under development by somebody on the IET forum 2009/10 is it? remember reading something there about this type of set up.

Haven't checked the link yet but is this similar to the GE DP single mod MCB with 2 switches?

 

[batty]

Ge do an RCBO single module although single pole the same size as an MCB but think they are

Apologies if this is what you already linked to

Yours is a different link Dan, aren't your links for a compact 3-phase MCB (taking 2 module slots), rather than Rugbymac's Two pole RCBO's ? Unless I haven't read far enough down your link.

Hi Doc

If you look at PDF page 6 it shows the range, they do a 1+1 pole MCB single mod with individual switches so basically 2 mcb's combined into one module. Further in the file they do a compact RCBO also. Looks interesting. I'll have to get some prices.

 

[Zeespark]

These are MCB's that you are chatting about, single and double pole ones, not RCBO's if I am not mistaken.
