Re: Updated pics of my loft conversion

["Paul Robinson" <ukcueman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have my cbus split across two boards, with each board protected by
an MCB. Then another MCB on the input to each dimmer, and an
MCB on the output of each channel (possibly overkill, but it works). I used
to have type B everywhere, but found that when a halogen
blew, it would usually take out three MCBs - including the one protecting
the whole of one board. I changed the board MCB to a type
C, and now I rarely have that problem.
