    TT System 100ma S Type Housing

    Electric enclosure inner empty space (in the bottom)

    Hi! My name is James. I am starting a company which will build a device for your fuse box. I would like to know, how much empty space you have in your fuse box, to install additional device there, like 10cm x 10cm. Also, maybe someone has any statistics of this not in UK. Will appreciate your help!

    CU enclosure replacement: repair?

    Customer has cracked the corner of his CU, with a little effort you can get your finger through the crack. I am going to swap the plastic CU chassis, but not in any way alter any of the circuits.
