Cheers Charlie_
Revenge!
Worst thing is, I thought it was £500 for the whole job, it was actually £550 lol. Mrs deals with the cash.That's not good !!
Done a board swap for my nephew last week.
Was disappointed when I seen he had bought proteus/m2 but I was pleasantly surprised with the product..
The case is not as good as Hager or Wylex but the terminations are good, I prefer the fork style busbar

The regulations now require that the main switch and rccb are protected against overload and that diversity of the final circuits shall not be solely used.Total MCB rating of 88A on a 63A RCD. Is this still allowed?
A nonsense I agree, but some manufacturers are adamant this is no longer permitted.
Edit: What rating is the cutout fuse?
That's why Hager is fitting only 100A RCD's in their consumer units now.The regulations now require that the main switch and rccb are protected against overload and that diversity of the final circuits shall not be solely used.
Manufacturers instructions should be followed.
The primary ocpd could be 60/63 amps so it would be acceptable, then again it could be 80/100

Had a sparky install a new consumer unit, has it been done correctly. Bare in mind the chap cut corners on other bits of work he was contracted to do.
