RE: CBus and electric towel rails



Should/could an MCB being switched on cause a spike or other terminal
probl=
em? I'm thinking this is likely the cause of the problems I've seen
recentl=
y and over the last couple of years.

If that's the case, I guess I'd need a number of individual circuit
protect=
ors. What are they called?

Cheers,

Paul.
