    Thoughts on an old ISCO AC DNO supply?

    Hi all What’s your thoughts on this supply? Came across it recently and wasn’t sure whether to mention it to DNO as it’s quite old but not sure if it warrants it or not.

    Old MK Sentry and RCBOs ?

    In our workshop/stores unit we've got an old MK Sentry CU with no RCD. The work benches all have RCD sockets. I'm planning on putting in a new radial for the washing machine and wondered if a current RCBO would fit in the old CU or if a RCD socket would be the only way forward. It's a nice size...

    Would you use an old CU to extend cables.

    I recently inspected a job in a 1960s-era apartment building. Three of the properties have old Wylex rewireable consumer units (CUs) with Pyro wiring. To minimize damage to the 50-year-old Pyro, which passed testing, I propose the following approach: 1. Utilize the old CU as a junction box. 2...
