Anyone got any pics of 3 phase boards. Just need to get some idea's on how to form the cables into the terminals. Would like to see how much slack and how you keeps the cables together e.g cable ties (yes some may disagree but iv seen ties used before).

Appreciate your help

Look on some manufactures websites they usually have a few pics with them installed with the cables inside. Oh and if you want the same affect as using cable ties for keeping cables tidy. Whilst installing the board,cable tie all cables into final positions once tested energize, If your on the job for a couple of days last knockings cut all the cable ties, the cables should have stiffened slightly and keep the rough shape you intended. The bigger conductors will stay in position without cable ties.

I never cable tie. Depending on the board I sort of run the earths and neutrals on the far edges. The phase wires I manage to half tuck them behind the mcb's and form a little loom with them. As for length I go past the terminal I want to connect by about 3 inches and then go back up into it. Is this making any sense?
But I never Leave loads on them. That causes real problems for someone who has to work on it afterwards, as Ik sure you all know!
 
Domestic single phase - but same approach

other than that yeah id be happy if my board looked like that.
