Size the board, main switch and protection strategy, and generate a circuit schedule to BS 7671.
Size the board, main switch and protection strategy and generate a circuit schedule to BS 7671 (Amendment 2).
Board size is the sum of active circuits, spare ways and a way for the Type 2 SPD that Amendment 2 now expects on most domestic installations — rounded up to a standard size. The protection strategy then determines how circuits are grouped: a full-RCBOboard gives every circuit its own protection, while a cheaper dual-RCD board groups circuits under two RCDs.
The configurator also estimates the diversified demand to size the main switch and lays out a circuit schedule you can use as a starting point.
