pleasent when they go like that eh Voltz....View attachment 19993View attachment 19994
I went for a metal clad BG board and all RCBO setup from Electric fix and was very impressed with the quality and price. £127 all in, delivered to my door as well. Which was nice.
Voltz....their a better board than Wylex...full stop.I just went with it cos the RCBOs were less than £15 + VAT, a full £10 cheaper than the rest. I like the BG stuff. I started out with a £50 special from B&Q and like them.

theres a few in here that like em
check out the busbar on the BG compared to the wylex....Well that's good to know. I got poo pooed about them from someone with brand snobbery when I first started using them, but my response was 'well they have to comply with British Standards so how bad can they be?' I just went with my instinct and now would say that I would use them with full confidence and recommend them.
If they can knock out RCBOs for less than £15, then why can't the rest of them? It's about time the price of these came down. Just lucky I got the remit from the customer to design and install whatever I wanted.
had it with Wylex....coming apart....in fact one of the wylex breakers the plastic snapped where the termination was.....so that had to be binned...lucky i had a 6A B spare then wasn`t it...i put 2 BG boards in , in both cases the mcb's came apart when tightening, must have just had a bit of bad luck.but as u said they pass the british standard.and at that price u cant put up with an odd mcb breaking
i agree about the trunking Dark....As you put it up expect some pickyness ..... neat board yes but the tails are not anchored in any way ...anybody knocking or moving the tails will directly put movement on the terminations which means they can loosen .... a nice bit of large trunking would have also finished the deal for me, with regards to the circuits above the board its looks rough as it stands ........ its a shame that the lid has to go on because you spent you time making the internals neat bit kinda fallen short with the part the customer see's. 5/10
Can do better
i agree about the trunking Dark....
it needs another visit...an hour should do it....
I hope the cables are entering from the back there....
put several pieces of trunking in...side to side....Ha! I haven't finished there yet. I still have a smoke detector to install, and something to do with the lights in the back room. I'll deffo be looking at the cables above the board. I have to make good the hole in the ceiling too, where the cables come through. Will post piccy of final install with cover on. TBH, I can't see me putting them in trunking as the cable spread across the top of the board is too great. Maybe I'll box them in...
