Very rarely do I see any promotion that makes me think "Oh, I should get some of those!" but recent spam from Lewden was for 100A joining blocks in the 3P+N+E colours. TLC seem to have them (or at least will stock them soon)...
Hello, I've worked on a few old lewden boards recently and the quality is terrible. When fitting rcbos in 16th edition boards there's a solid bar that gets in the way of the taller device and they go in wonky enough as is. I was considering swapping it for a 100A flexible link, are any of you...
Happy new year guys,
I installed a new Lewden CU today and all the type A RCBOs failed when tested at x5 (150mA) at the end of the circuit. However, when tested at the terminals of the RCBO they tripped in around 38/39ms. I am aware that Hager have had issues with their 61008 RCCBs and suggest...
I was carrying out an EICR today. The consumer unit was a Control gear direct board. It had one chint MCB in it which had been put in recently. It looked absolutely identical to all the cgd MCB's.
Is Chint in any way affiliated with CGD/Lewden or is this just a coincidence?
Can anyone tell me what the fittings are for this. I assume Some sort of proprietary Lewden lighting system? Its a mini chandelier and a cover slides on to this. Spade connectors do not fit the lugs. A customer has asked me to wire it up for them (they had it removed from another house and dont...
Hi All
We've recently got a foot in the door with a decent garden company who are promising lots of work.
There's been talk about wireless/ app controlled lighting, pumps etc.
To be honest I've not been down this route just yet.
Just seeing what makes any of use/ recommended please?
Only...
I have just heard that Lewden / Control Gear Direct have stopped producing their circuit protective devices as of 13th May, is this anything anyone else has heard of or can confirm?
I have used a fair number of their consumer units and RCBOs and will be nonplussed if I now have to tell customers...
Has anyone had problems with this switch fuse??? I went to one last year which was warm to the touch, so I changed it for an Amd3 metal one. I found this one today burnt out, close call. The screw terminals were tight - the source of the heat looks to be the contact inside the switch. This one...
Hey guys,
Just had this pop up on me tonight.
I need to install an MCB into a lewden CU tomorrow morning and I don't have a local wholesalers that sells them.
Does anyone know what MCB fits into this board please (other than lewden)
Went to change consumer unit mains incomer after seized. All good , all tested trip tested the 3 rcbo's covering the installation, passed within time, then function test button pressed and pop.
Retest and nothing, clearly up the swanny. My question is relating to my moral dilemma. Dont want to...
Does anyone have any experience with these ? Have been offered some at a great price but I have no experience of the brand whatsoever. I will probably try one or two out but just wondered if anyone could offer direct experience of these ?
I am looking for an RCBO to fit this board.
Do all the breakers with the lewden (or denmans) logo (triangle pointing right in a black oval) have the same fittings? For example some MCB's have 'EC' on them whereas this CU has 'DZ47', also the RCBO's with this same logo do not have any markings...
Hi Guys
Just purchased a CU containing a Main Switch from a reputable company, but having an issue with the Main Switch. Am in discussions with the supplier but would like to be a bit surer of my facts.
The switch is stamped BSEN60947-3 125A 240V. Terminals are well marked. But no CE mark, no...
Good afternoon,
Does anyone know off-hand where Lewden KWHM100 din rail mounted KWH meter can be re-set?
I can't for the life of me find any kind of documentation to help!
I have newish one used to when drying a house out that I need for a job and it would be nice if it started on zero...

Any suggestions as to how to terminate swa into a switch/fuse neatly? I've run it through a metal box and out to the switch with the switch cover covering the point where the sheath is split but wondering if there's a neater way to do things?
