a big hotel group has asked us that they want 2 way dbs in each bedroom feeding one socket and 5 lights all led fittings, but they want the supplies to boards daisy chained from 10mm t&e or swa feeding 4 rooms per circuit. the only way ive ever done this is sub per board, but cant find anything...
Hello,
Has anyone got any photo's of consumer units filled with RCBO's that look very tidy. Whenever I have a board that has say 10 ways of RCBO's it is always a struggle towards the end to make nice and neat. Would be great to see what other people do.
Reading past threads about cable ties in...
hi im currently pricing a job to change a consumer board/s, the question I have is there is a second e7 board, which is no longer in use, but somebody at some point has changed the fused spurs to single sockets. the main concern is ive read before about other sparks putting it all to one board ...
Hi all,
I work for a firm who are getting busy with the solar pv and will soon be getting busy with the pod point installation (ev charging domestic).
My gaffer (who is not an electrician) wants a new 1 way board putting in on every job, no questions asked. Even if the existing board is 17th...

Hi, I'm a Electrical Trainee, not long qualified to be a Domestic Installer. I have my 2382,2377 and EAL Level 2! The question is: I'm going to upgrade my mums electrics as there's no rcd and it's on the old re-wireable! My query is because the under floor heating is on a separate cu and economy 7! Can I put...
I have spent 2 days in total doing an EICR on these boards, I won't give away too much info in this first post, I would like you new sparks who go around peoples houses changing dist boards to let me know if you think this needs ripping out and replacing? if so what is your reasons and what...
Can anyone tell me if I'm asked to work on a live db be it TP or SP lv ,by my employer,as I have done for many many years in cases where the board cannot be isolated for various reasons.
if for some reason I'm electrocuted and I have a hot works permit or not, should my employers insurance cover...

Hi All
I have just pulled out 4 x 12way 3 Phase Distribution Boards if anyone is interested!
All fully loaded with single and 3-phase MCBs
Open to offers
I know i might get a lot of stick as selling used electrical is a no no, but there is always customers who cant afford to pay for a new DB
I need to connect a 3 phase inverter for a 10kW PV system through its own 3 phase breaker to the incoming supply.
There are no spare fuseways in the avaialbe DB so I need to put in an additional DB.
I would ideally like a single way (for a 3 phase breaker - i.e. 3 lines) 3 phase DB with mains...
Hi,
I have something coming up soon and it is running a new 63 amp supply in a hotel. The current DB is GE board. As we know new 63 amp triple pole breakers are as rare as rocking horse feet. Does anyone know what the next best fit will be. Have heard Hager is a good match.
I know it won't...
Warning lads! 2 Main switch boards we have fitted recently have burnt out! would seem at factory they have crossthreaded the neutral bar link at top of board! we always check tightness of connections but it would seem at first sight its tight But its not (only by less than mill) clients load up...
I've just had a look at pricing a rewire, house is probably over 100 years old and has rubber coated wiring in use from whenever it was modernised.
The ceilings are boarded with a soft, cardboardy board that has a bumpy surface and the joins are taped (none of it skimmed) full room lengths in a...
Living out in the sticks. I have come across old split phase installations a few times and done a little maintenance on them. These installations usually consist of a old 3 rewireable db with only 2 phases used.
Well for the first time I have been asked to add some circuits which requires a...
First time post although avid reader. And first post is a question, sorry!
What are people's thoughts about paralleling fuse boards. Been asked to install a new board by linking off the existing boards supply as the current board is full. They are lug and bolt terminals so can easily double the...
Hello there guys,
I am a bit confused regarding fitting consumer boards on wood. I am fitting one in a shop and I have been told I am not allowed to fit on the wood panels. But yet the suppliers have recently put all their meters and upgraded the supply to a three phase on the wooden panel...
