channel

Thanks Mick

I have another question now...

I know the "best practice" is to put an MCB on each individual
output
channel, and since I hapenned to have a number of spare ones left over
from a consumer unit upgrade a couple of years ago, I have put a couple in
place... - my question is what actually is the best type?

What I happened to have were "type B" 6A ones... - what's the
difference
between types B, C, and D (and what ever hapenned to type A anyway?). I
presume I want the fastest reacting ones to protect the dimmer channels?

I also presume I should match the MCB rating to the dimmer channel
rating... - i.e. the dimmer channels are 2A so I guess I should put 2A
MCB's on there instead of the 6A ones I already have...

TIA

Paul G.

Yes standard back boxes including the 6 button, just fitted a load and yes
they are square not rectangular. I think Li has some pics of the square
ones
on cbusshop under the saturn e5080 series.

At the weekend I finally got my *rse into gear and started my CBUS
install..
- deep joy... Only got 1 light up & running so far (but I did have to
repaint an entire wall to make good where the old switches were
removed...)
but at least it's a start!

Donwside is it appears to have killed a couple of X10 DIN modules that are
mounted right next to the CBUS Dimmer unit stone dead... - they work fine
on
local control, but not by X10... - I assume the CBUS dimmer in close
proximity is killing the X10 signal, - more reason for me to hurry up &
upgrade those to CBUS as well I guess...

Quick question: - I'm just about to order up some more switches so I can
do
precisely that, but I want to confirm that the square Saturns fit on
bog-standard UK size single-gang backboxes?... - even the the 6-button
ones?.. - the documentation for them says that they fit on standard
backboxes, but doesn't explicitly say *what* standard!! - despite being
called square, they look decidedly rectangular in any picture I can
find...
- is that just because everyone is still using old pictures?

Cheers.
