It will get less misty? Oooh no sorry more misty ;-)

Dash! Further complications. The C-bus consumer units are fed via a 32amp
feed from the main split load consumer unit on the non-rcd side. But, the
C-bus consumer units aren't split load. Can I just use a 16amp RCBO?

Or was my sparkies original design floored?

Many thanks,

Rob
