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!

Has anybody used a chint 3 ph board? For the size I need it comes in about £50 cheaper than a Hager. I've used the single phase ones years ago and they were gash!! This is the first job for a new customer so I don't want to be fitting rubbish and I'm a bit of a brand snob but if the chint is any...

Could anyone give me a rough idea of when the MEMshield 2 range of boards were introduced? And also, if anyone had an idea of when the old Square D. boards came out. Firstly the ones with the black MCBs & RCBOs, and also when they were replaced by the 3871 QOE MCBs.
Google hasn't been much...
