If it matters the CU is a Crabtree Starbreaker with a single 80A
switch/30mA RCD and 14 MCBs and a DIN mount bell transformer.



Apart from the cost, am I crazy?

Bill.

Whip off the front cover and take a photo of the inside of the CU.
That looks like the SB6000 and you cannot get single module RCBOs
for that model. And it would be cheaper to replace the CU
considering Crabtrees prices.

There should be one at

If I do end up having to use something else do you recommend any one
in particular?

You will struggle to get the RCBOs to fit that.

As Stephen says the Denmans Curve is rather good. But so is the Hager
Invicta (a bit more commercial). Maybe Tim Watts could post a photo of his
Hager board.

My own view is that the Hager will cost more but is more future proof should
you wish to add modules such as the door bell transformer.


The Denmans Curve CUs are all white plastic cases and there is a flip
down door on the CU.

For me this has two important advantages.

The first is that I can stick Dymo labels on the inside of the door
giving a text description of what each RCBO is.

Also, previous CU's looked ugly so I ended up boxing it in with an
access door.

Not needed with the Denmans Curve unit. Just close the door on the
RCBO's and its actually easy on the eye so no need to box it in. Even
the main switch is covered by the flip down lid.

If you want pictures let me know and I'll put some online.
