    Distribution boards location

    Hi, I have never come across this before but is it OK to put a DB on the ceiling. We have had some cabins in and the db's are all on the ceiling. I have said this is wrong but my supervisor insists it is OK. Any input would be appreciated.

    Hi, I have completed a EIC for a garage DB2 with five final circuits (no problem there i think). But for the distribution circuit from house DB1 to Garage DB2 I have completed a second EIC for this alone. The questions I have for the distribution circuit alone are: 1) For the EIC 'particulars...

    UK Energy monitor options for new Distribution Panel?

    I need to put in a new distribution panel for under floor (electric) heating. Are there decent energy monitoring devices I can put into the distribution panel so I can keep track of costs? (especially given the soaring energy costs) Ideally something I can view on my phone/tablet. Thanks

    Can QR codes replacing the traditional Distribution Board Schedule?

    QR Codes have been around for 20 years and have pretty much been successfully used in special cases - scan the code to view the information or website. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the need for touchless access to information (think menus) and NHS tracking apps, the...

    Solar isolator (to distribution board)

    I don't do PV, so not overly familiar with specific regulations. Yesterday I was changing a consumer unit, and the isolator for the PV was adjacent to the consumer unit. Due to needing a bit more space, I had to move this isolator a few cm and noticed it was single pole, switching L only. A...

    Sub mains / distribution circuits

    Hi all, new here, just looking for a few pointers. I'm not doing this, just keeping my brain active in these weird times with things i've not learnt yet. How do you calculate cables etc for a single phase sub main (to a garage for instance) - is it the same as a cooker? Ib> In> etc etc?? TIA

    UK Distribution

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has an alternative way of fusing sub mains other than fitting an MCCB panel? Basically I have a sub main to a laundry block, and one to a toilet block. There may be a db fitted next to the proposed panel in the future so I need to leave allowance. I can’t think...
