Anyone else think this is a daft CU configuration?

It’s questionable if dual boards actually meet the regs

No discrimination. Earth fault on one circuit will affect more than itself.

The split load board has had it's day when they first appeared they generally had 80A RCD's now you find 63A RCD's as the norm when you look at the configuration of the board in the OP it doesn't need much load on each of the socket circuits to push beyond 63A going through the RCD and who knows what problems that might cause.

Beama actually published a paper stating we should use 100 amp (RCD) Residual Current Device unless a load calculation has been done to allow 63 and 80 amp devices,though it was there members that supply said Consumer Units with the lower rated devices in.

Problem with BEAMA is that they are the manufacturer’s and their goal is to boost revenue AND profit
