    Amendment 3 Consumer units

    Hey all, seems to be a load of manufacturers selling Amd 3 domestic cu's with 2 x RCD's splitting the board and then just mcb's. I have never bothered doing anything but multiple rcbo's due to the hassles of RCD going and taking other circuits due to a little bit of earth leakage from...

    Connections in consumer units.

    When say adding a new circuit to a DB/CU do you tend to check all the connections in said DB/CU are sound and tight! I have come across a few boards recently where pretty much every cable is loose including the main tails literally just sitting in the switch, but no signs of overheating etc, so...

    new consumer units.

    has anyone started fitting new metal clad consumer units yet. if so what are you using to form the glands where the cables enter the boxes. They seem to be selling the boxes down here but there is not much else with them yet. or are you still fitting insulated ones until jan 2016?

    BG consumer units

    So I generally don't fit these. I tried one a few years back, thought it was generally quite shoddy. My mate also tried a couple and reported 2 cases of RCDs not meeting trip times straight out of the box. Any cost saving instantly negated in lost time, back to a decent brand. Last week I...
