Default Thoughts on fitting RCBOs

If no one puts me off the ideas I'm having then checking physical sizes
is next on the agenda. Hopefully in the same enclosure, I'm not too
worried about doing that. But if it came to a new enclosure then the
panic will set in! Although there is plenty of space behind the CU, I
would not look forward too much to replacing it.


I am assuming that this is a plastic enclosure? If so is the pull down
cover for the MCBs in the middle vertically or much nearer the bottom
than the top? The reason I ask is that I've looked at this and all the
Starbreakers I see online have the door low down and can take RCBOs with
no problem (although they have to be Crabtree ones, as they plug into
the busbar and are not of conventional design) - my own on the other
hand has the door in the middle and I don't think that there is enough
room for RCBOs.
