<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>you can get rcds to fit in the normal power plug socket an dif more than one then they can be protect d by the single rcd<div><br><br><div>> Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2014 05:38:32 +1200<br>> From: richard.jones.1952@gmail.com<br>> To: chchrobotics@lists.linuxnut.co.nz<br>> Subject: [chbot] OT: Low profile RCB<br>> <br>> Maybe someone can help me out with an off topic electrical wiring<br>> question about residual current circuit breakers with overload<br>> protection.<br>> <br>> We're in the process of a bathroom refit and our electrician proposes<br>> bathroom socket outlets protected by a 16A/30mA RCBO in the fusebox.<br>> However the old style fusebox has a rather nice rimu wood enclosure<br>> and does not have the depth to fit the Schneider DOM19803 RCBO which<br>> is massive at 90x130x50mm and will not allow the door to shut. The<br>> proposed solution is to enlarge the box. I suspect that there is a<br>> cheaper and more attractive solution.<br>> <br>> Can anyone suggest a low profile range of surface mounted RCBs and<br>> MCBs and where to get them? Something around 75mm depth or less would<br>> be ideal. When the fusebox only contained an isolator switch and fuses<br>> there was plenty of space.<br>> <br>> To be honest I'm a little suspicious about the use of a wooden box to<br>> satisfy AS/NZS 3000:2007 Section 1.5.8 "Protection against thermal<br>> effects in normal service. Electrical installations shall be arranged<br>> so that there is no risk of ignition of flammable materials because of<br>> high temperature or electric arc in normal service."<br>> <br>> Suggestions anyone?<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Chchrobotics mailing list Chchrobotics@lists.linuxnut.co.nz<br>> http://lists.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/chchrobotics<br>> Mail Archives: http://lists.ourshack.com/pipermail/chchrobotics/<br>> Web site: http://kiwibots.org<br>> Meetings 3rd Monday each month.<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line to reflect new content.<br></div></div> </div></body>
