digbeth Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I have a 20 year old-ish metal 'Square D' consumer unit in my condo, just wondering how 'universal' is the breaker, do I have to use a specific same brand breaker that fits inside the box, or does any brand breaker mount universally like on a DIN rail, or will there be issue with face plate size? I'm thinking about adding separate RCBO for water heater and some Wifi-controlled breaker for the aircon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Your CU is almost certainly of the "plug-in" type which means you're limited to Schneider/Square-D, BTIcino, Chang and a couple of others. You can certainly get RCBOs to fit, anthing else you're looking at an external box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breaker contains a small motor to drive the reset. Great for resetting breakers while absent and not knowing if the house will burn down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
