A long standing customer phoned me this afternoon and said he needs a new consumer in a bungalow he he buying.


Okay, we will have to think about this because if I just fit what is on offer at Screwf#w it will be obsolete on the 1st April next year, which is probably why they are cheap. The offer is for a dual RCD CU without a SPD with Type AC RCDs, potentially as much use as a chocolate teapot in six months time.


So, it looks like an Wyl#x main switch CU with all RCBOs as they are Type A and a SPD, at least the CU will be upgradable. Also I am guessing it’s going to be TT as it’s been part of a farm up until now. At a stroke its gone from being CU costing less than £70 to one probably costing over £500 and that’s without any AFDD.


I will just run by him if he wants go for AFDD at around £1500 rather than spending £350 on RCBOs some of which may soon be outdated, meaning maybe a couple of hundred pounds has been spent on RCBOS now which won’t comply with the regulations next year.
