A unique combination for Live Electrical three-phase distribution boards
Electricians have been asking for it — and it’s finally here. The new Live Electrical 10kA Compact Bi-Directional RCBOs are set to launch this September, combining three winning features in one unbeatable package: 10kA breaking capacity, compact size, and true bi-directional flexibility.
And the best part? They come at a price that makes upgrading feel like Santa arriving early this year .

Why This Launch Matters
This isn’t just another protection device. It’s a game-changer for installers:
- 10kA breaking capacity – engineered for commercial and industrial-grade protection.
- Compact size, single module – maximises space inside your Live Electrical TPN distribution boards.
- 1P+N with switched neutral – ensuring full isolation and compliance.
- Bi-Directional design – no more worrying about line/load direction during installation.
- RCBO protection – combines MCB and RCD in one device.
- Unbeatable cost – professional-grade protection at a price electricians can actually celebrate.
- 18th Edition ready – designed in line with BS 7671 wiring regulations, making compliance simple.
What Makes This Range Unique in Compact Bi-Directional RCBO Protection?
Most brands make you choose: compact size OR high breaking capacity OR bi-directional function.
Live Electrical has combined all three into one RCBO — and added switched neutral isolation in a true single-module design.
Pair this with Live Electrical three phase RCBOs, and you get arguably one of the best protection combinations on the market today.
And don’t forget — Live TPN distribution boards already come supplied with a main switch and Type 2 SPDs as standard (with options available without SPD if required). That means straight out of the box, you’re building to BS 7671 Amendment 2 compliance with very little extra needed.
For complete installations, installers can also explore our Live Electrical Consumer Units — one of the most popular product ranges on our site. With consumer units, TPN boards, and now compact bi-directional RCBOs, Live Electrical is offering a unique, end-to-end solution at unbeatable prices.
