Trip on betapack 4

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to replace the MCB’s on the betspack 4 with rcbo so I can feed the rack with an mcb and any fault will trip just the faulty circuit rather than the entire rack?

being an outdoor venue gives us a little problem with rain!!

thanks

Not sure how RCBOs, even on the mains side of the triacs, will play with dimming. I realise you might be talking about the hot power sockets but the MCB is common on the channel. 
 

I doubt Zero88 would  support this modification to their product (if nothing else it would invalidate the formal product qualification they have to do for CE/UKCA marking).

As per @kgallen's comments, this is not something that we can support. The only channel protection options for Betapack 4s are MCBs.

You would need to look at Chilli Pro Bypass cabinets for RCBO protection per dimmed/hot channel.
