Which consumer units are best

[messimagician]

That's the right CU to order though if I plan to fill it with rcbo's?, I almost forgot the blanks so I'll need 9 of them

Thanks

You would need to check that your electrician is happy with this choice, they are the one that has to fit the board.
The lack of knockouts might be inconvenient but for only five circuits not too bad.

Not sure... I recently had dealings with a new Acti9 DB. The Acti9 branded MCBs fitted fine but Schneider branded C60 MCBs didn't seem to want to. I didn't confirm it with Schneider however.

I may have been mistaken then, but I'm sure they are backwards compatible.
They are also still making the c60 and c120 MCBs

It could just have been me not jiggling it right. That's been the case in quite a few situations before.

nope there are different schneider breakers and there not all compatable with each other

the ic ones are acti9 i belive the other is the easy range but im not sure (we use ic range all the time)

Hager do one called Design 30

Hager Design 30 is a great looking board, but probably somewhat over-engineered for most applications, have you taken a look at their far more popular Design 10 range?

Even though the board cost will probably be the smaller part of the bill compared to the labour involved changing/testing from your old one, its worth considering.
