Guess what I bought on Black Friday
So these are the mains wired version which are powered by a 24vAC transformer that is DIN rail mounted. Designed really for US/European installations or houses that have the doorbell transformer housed in the CU - who ever does that?
Anyway, plan is to power the TF from a 5A fused spur off a nearby lighting circuit and put the TF in a 2 module DIN enclosure in the porch near the door. (something like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/wylex-ese2-ip40-2-module-unpopulated-din-enclosure/32311)
I just wondered if I can use a DIN rail mounted MCB instead of a fused spur as, if so, I would just have the enclosure and not need to fit a separate fused spur socket?
Believe an MCB would give me the same (or better) overload protection that a fused spur and would act as a local isolator like a fused spur, but just wondered if there was some "official" 18th edition reason why I couldn't do this?
Cheers,
MM
