Spotted that CPC have these, new.


Not cheap though. 8.59+vat.


6, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40A.


The 10 seems a bit of an oddity.


Surely if you have such an ancient unit, it would make more sense to
change it for a modern one with RCD protection?

You can get decent deals on fully populated ones. And it's not that
difficult a job to fit, if you take your time and label things carefully.



Putting the possible NE faults or borrowed neutrals to one side that is not
a bad DIY idea and could be cheaper.

Any circuits that trip the RCD could be put on the non RCD side until any
problems are fixed.

Prat P is ignored but who cares?
