Amendment 3 metal consumer unit.

[Chris Warriner]

Hi,
I'm about to install a new MK sentry Consumer Unit. The only issue I have is what will be the best way for the cable entry into the box.

Thanks for your time
Chris.

Better down the side.

It's not hard to get it in the hole.:shocked3: (Maybe it is)

That's a bit rough Dave, and you missed out making 'snips' down the open edge to make it go round the hole/opening properly.

I fitted an 12 way mk one today...25 mm 3 core swa bottom entry and all cables coming through 2 x 32 mm bushes and lock nuts through rear knock outs... Plenty of room and easy to get looking neat.

How come you used 25mm SWA ?

Long run

Long run

Yep, I figured after your other thread about it being in a block of flats.
I assumed single dwelling domestic and thought it a bit on the large side.

Probably still is with such little load on it, but not my design or installation. Id say the run is approx 40 meters but just a guess as its nearing the end of the job so not sure on the route taken.
