Replace MCB with RCBO in Wylex NHRS17SL board?
Is there an RCBO that will fit a Wylex NHRS17SL board?
The board currently has two RCDs: one for the rings and one for the outside sockets. I'd like to free-up some space in the board by replacing one RCD and MCB with an RCBO but I can't find one that looks like it would fit. Is there one? |

I've just found the email address for Wylex tech help so will fire off an email to them. |

I would expect your CU to be able to take an RCBO. The older Wylex CUs do take the Proteck spacesaver RCBOs. -- Adam |

In case it's of interest to anyone else: Wylex have said that the NHXSBS1Bxx range will fit (so you were right, John, and my doubts were misplaced). |

To be fair, single module RCBOs are tight fit on many CUs so Its easy to understand the concern... -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
