so I need to put an RCBO into a British General 16-Module 10-Way Populated High Integrity Dual RCD Consumer Unit (2920G) it has three neutral bars so that fine the issue is how to connect the buzz bar that will supply the RCBO and the cable that takes power to the RCD feed in and connect them at the outlet of the main switch I've done a mock up on a board I have at home and have used an MCB instead of an RCBO as I haven't Brought it yet but would this be ok if not how do I get round it???229ed91cdcfac6e23be1814cc2729618-huge-screenshot-2020-11-26-at-20.05.18.png

    I'm about to type up some landlords EICRs, the one job I did the repairs whilst I was there. 


    The flats were only converted five years ago and they have MK consumer units with steel enclosures, bought as preassembled kits. 


    I had to replace one of the two RCDs. This only had the busbar in without any additional cables,  so you are right to be cautious. 


    I had to straighten the busbar as it had a significant bend in it, this is a 63A and I replaced it with a new 80A I had on my van.
