    What are your thoughts on people wanting to be ultra neat when wiring inside boards?

    Which mid-range boards (if any) have Type 1 SPDs available

    Next week I've got a single phase CU change that's a sub-main fed by an over-air cable run supported by catenary wire. By rights I believe this should have a Type 1 SPD. My normal go-to board (Fusebox) doesn't seem to list a Type 1 device in their catalogue. I wondered if anyone can suggest any...

    Do 3 phase boards usually have RCD protection in commercial settings?

    Just sat contemplating life and realised i don't think i've ever seen any RCD protection on the boards we maintain/install at work. I've seen 300mA protection on some section boards but don't recall ever clocking a 30mA in a 3 phase board. Am i just not looking properly?
