as the title. I know they are the cheaper end of price but its the link bars inside the boards that make them look so much better inside

Never fitted a pre-assembled board but we've tried the MCB's and RCD's on a couple of budget jobs. The screws are prone to stripping when you give them that final 'umph' as you tighten them and we had a couple of internal mechanical failures where the MCB's just refused to reset. I don't think they're complete garbage but I do think it might be worth spending a little extra for something a little more higher-end quality wise
 
I seem to remember coming across Chint on a job somewhere... Can't remember where though but I've a feeling they're rebadged BG...

not fitting one anytime soon :D with the pot and all. just seen them in the wholesalers and liked the bars. look a lot tidier than the cable.

Just found where it was talked about on another thread...

Chint = MCG = CEF "own brand" as far as I remember
 
the problem with those solid bars is that you can't alter the config. they're not as bad as some make out. i've used a couple. they deffo not BG.

You're right, just found my old thread about it. Reason I thought BG was because I used a BG RCD to replace the faulty Chint/MCG one that I was using.

I blame the broken wrist and having to drag a fibre glass pot around the keyboard :D oh and the fact that im typing with 2 fingers
 
Chint boards don’t proved out to be worth for anyone. I don't like the internal tails of this kind of boards. We always use fully loaded boards cheaper than buying a Chint. I have used this board few days ago but getting lots of mechanical failures in it.
 
Fitted one once, was fine. No failures good RCD kinetics. And veh, veh, cheap. Was peddled bt Wilts

NEVER underestimate the impotence of proof reading !!! ;)
 
TB, you missed trolley off your sig. :6:
