Hi all,

I recently bought (eBay, cheap) an old but unused, neat, little 8 way
metalclad mini CU (the make looks like a squirly 'G E' ?) with the
thought to using it in my workshop as a split CU (lights / ring).

It came with an 80A 30mA RCD on what looks like a 'half rail' type
mounting system (the module clips over the top of the rail and is held
down onto / by the busbar).

I've not seen a GE CU, but what you describe sounds like
Federal Electric -- it is designed so that MCB's can be added
and removed without switching off the CU (although I don't
think they actually advertise that feature). The breakers
have a heafty clip which snaps into the busbar.

It's not actually, it's a General Electric. Totally different to
Federal Electric.
