    RCBO advice

    I can't imagine it works like that. Normally MCBs RCBs and RCBOs are normed in their size and connection positions. I never came across a board, which told me, that only the board producers own MCBs, RCBOs have to be used.

Found myself with a commercial installation, where 2 double wall sockets connected by a 2.5sqm cable has been connected to a 20A mcb. I think, that's not the right way to do. So I...

    New to UK - general 13A Socket question

    in difference to many other countries where wall sockets are 16A rated, UK sockets are 13A rated. Unfortunately there aren't RCBOs with 13A rating, so as I understand the only choice is fusing each socket, or connecting each socket to a 10A RCBO to exclude the danger of overloading a socket. I...
