Tips

• Professional Installation: Always ensure the distribution board is installed by a qualified and certified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations (e.g., SANS 10142).

• RCBO Testing: Regularly test the RCBO function using the "T" or "Test" button (typically monthly) to ensure it is operating correctly.

• Load Balancing: When adding new circuits to spare ways, consult your electrician to ensure proper load balancing across phases (if applicable) and that the total load does not exceed the main switch capacity.

• Correct Cable Sizing: Ensure appropriate cable sizes are used for each circuit according to its current rating and length.

• Secure Connections: Verify all terminal connections are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque settings.

• Clear Labeling: Label each circuit clearly for easy identification and maintenance.
