Im hoping to start using these modules, replacing existing plugin
appliance modules, mainly to get rid of the relay 'clunk' when they turn
off/on.

Steve - What load are your micro modules switching? Also, do they have
builtin fuses, similar to the plugin modules?

Reason I ask, is they are designed to be used behind a switch/socket,
its not clear what rating of MCB is required to protect these
micromodules. Can they be connected to a ring main protected by 32A MCB,
or can they only be used on a 6A lighting circuit?
