Electrical Question. Consumer Unit.

Evenin' All,

                       it was fun getting to work today. Firstly, I had left my van's windows open about 5mm at the top to reduce condensation buildup. A Big mistake. The dusty fine snow had found a way in and covered the driver's seat and the steering column and some parts of the dashboard. Joy and bliss I said.


Anyway now to the question. Sparky Sid was installing a new Niglon R.C.B.O. populated consumer unit. It has a main D.P. switch and six R.C.B.O.s.


He always uses one  short length of P.V.C. earth sleeving when assembling these types of consumer units.


Why?

  • he uses t&e

    looking at the new rcbo RCBO1-630SS-Specification-Sheet.pdf (niglon.co.uk) it has g/y functional earth lead which is quite long, 

    he cuts off the excess and uses it to connect the stubs of CPCs to the earth bar

    short length of sleeving is for the bits of CPC between sheaf and connectors.

    Thin flexible g/y cable found suitable after using adiabatic, and Sid only uses 6A circuits on his installs


    I think it is not clear on the front of the RCBO what rating the device is. How can you tell from the designation RCBO1-6/30SS that it is a 6Amp OCPD?
