R.C.B.O. Preference.

Q. Why do I prefer the modern Niglon R.C.B.O. design over the modern Lewden R.C.B.O. design for domestic consumer units?

    Can't get either brand around here - only contactum, wylex, hager and Chint. Anything else has to be procured via a web purchase.


    Yes W.H. supplies can be a problem. The only reason that I came upon the Lewden brand consumer unit and R.C.B.Os was that a customer bought the stuff and then asked me to install it. I know Lewden of old dealt with metal outside switches and sockets of very good quality, but now most stuff is made of plastic. Do you remember the Lewden outdoor sockets and switches of the "industrial" type?


     I have found Chint to be cheap and nasty with a high failure rate.
