    Drilling holes in Fusebox knockouts?

    I’ve always been alright with the knockouts provided for Fusebox consumer units but I’ve got a job coming up where I don’t want to use the large 32mm or 40mm knockouts. I’ve got a 10 way board consumer unit to fit and the knockouts are so annoyingly spaced out, you could fit another 3...

    When to upgrade the fusebox?

    Hi All, I look into my electrical cabinet and wondering what are the reasons or when to consider some upgrades. It looks dated. The system last time has been checked in 2018. I can summon an electrician to check it but I could also ask him to make some upgrades. I don't expect all the devices at...

    FuseBox F2014MX board any good

    I'm replacing my consumer unit (well, adding a second one, rewiring the house one circuit at a time, then removing the original one when it's all done) and looking at the FuseBox F2014MX 14 way main switch board with SPD. I intend to populate this with AFDD RCBOs. The electrician...

    Is this thing in my fusebox labelled RCD actually an RCD ?

    I have my suspicions it is not as it has neither a trip current rating nor test button, please see picture

    Late to the party. Fusebox DB’s

    My local wholesalers have only recently stocked fusebox, so not had a chance to try them out with lockdown and whatever. I fitted a garage board not long ago to supply a hot tub, and used fusebox to match the main db, but today was my first swap out. Conditions couldn’t have been better. Not...

    New kitchen does it need own fusebox or change just the mains fusebox?

    New kitchen will be installed. Do we need to rewire the kitchen? The fusebox we have is ancient and our electrician has recommended to rewire kitchen then have a consumer unit just for the kitchen electrics as he said things may trip because our consumer unit is old but my builder who covers all...

    Opinion on current fusebox

    Hi, Moved into a property of late that has the following fuse box. Got advice telling me that it's safe, but doesn't meet current regulations, as well as that it could go in the next year, or last another 15. Want to get opinions on next steps. Ideally, I'd like to replace it with a consumer...

    Fusebox RCBO failures

    Had a couple now where they won’t reset after a fault current is put through it. Lamp blowing etc. switch goes floppy and won’t reset. Used to fit Hager and never had a failure. Tempted to switch back now. Anyone else had similar issues or just my bad luck? Probably fitted 150 fusebox RCBO’s...

    Fusebox CU With Compact DP RCBOs

    We just finished a complete rewire of a very old 3 storey house yesterday, quite challenging and actually exhausting at times and it took 16 days altogether, but I'm really happy with the finished job. This CU was started at 4.20pm yesterday and completed at 6.55pm including the RCBO tests. [The...

    Charge battery via fusebox with solar charger

    Good moaning all, I want to install a solar charger because my MK1 1997 Clio 1.8 RSi seemingly has a parasitic draw and counteracting it is probably better than trying to find and fix it given the car's age. If anyone wants to buy it in September let me know! The problem is that the cigarette...

    Freezer causes audible clicks on audio amplifier, but only when on same ring

    Hi - my 1 year old table top freezer causes audible clicks on my (good quality) audio equipment every 15-30 minutes as it turns on/off. What is particularly surprising to me is that the clicks only happen when the freezer and audio are on the same mains ring. I have monitored the output of the...
