Anyone on this list able to have a quick chat to me regards feeding CBUS
from the CU ? I visited Nick Locke's place to see what Ben Addison had
done - and was impressed enough to pretty much mirror and use the same
MCB's etc.

Trouble is, I didnt get any info on how the Consumer Unit feeds the CBUS
panels (or at least I dont remember!), and what I've put in place looks
not to be the best solution. I've had a few issues, basically tripping the
RCD in the main CU. The outside lights have tripped and so do a couple of
my extractors in the bathrooms/en-suites (strangely only when turning
off).

So, I have 2 x Dimmers and 1 x Relay unit (need another relay soon tho,
and yet another cabinet).
My Hager CU has lights on the right (now disconnected), and mains on the
left. All mains on the left is through the panel's RCD.
