Which Model of Main Switch to use in this cu?
The instructions that came with this cu explain that the ONE spare slot is to accommodate a Main Switch (not supplied). However, Crabtree Starbreaker main switches (dp) that I've seen, need the space of TWO slots, i.e. they are twice the width of an MCB.

Hi, This unit does not require a Main Switch. It has a 63A RCD already fitted which acts as the main incomer whilst also providing the required RCD protection for the unit . The pre-installed 50A MCB provides the protection for the shower unit.
The instruction leaflet with this unit is for a generic leaflet for the Crabtree Starbreaker 4 module consumer unit which is the base unit used for the shower kit. The spare outgoing way is for an additional MCB if required and not a main switch.
We suggest you consult a qualified electrician for further guidance.
