Am I correct in saying that plastic consumer units can be used in commercial premises?

i have a spell problem. is torque spelt I.M.P.A.C.T?

Close enough. :yesnod:

I do use plastic boards over here in server rooms and also where we need a distribution panel in say an office type area. Often here classrooms/training rooms have local panels

We use the Legrand XL type units. It really is a choice of enviroment. Not sure you want or need a TPN metal clad board in an office type enviroment.

Having now fitted 5 of the new Hager Design 30 boards, I really like the metal boards.

I have only fitted the design 10. Is there much of a difference apart from the cable clamp ?

The lid is better and if I'm correct the knockouts on the back are better, I can go and look and tell you later as going to the shop in a bit

The bg boards are pretty good and cheap ish. Also tried the wiska self sealing ko plugs last week and there ok as well

Unfortunately, over tightening of cable terminations appears to be the cause of the Clarence House fire.

haha. i'd like to think that he'd rip the CU off the wall before he loosened one of my terminations. i always give the tails a bloody good tug some 10 minutes after installing. generally find that with the settlement of the strands, a good turn or more is reqiured to achieve a tight connection. bet they don't teach that on a 5 week course.

They did on my one!!!!

We the trade have to put up with it again!
Its just turning full circle of what we used 50 years ago
Would you really put in a plastic CU in an Industrial Job

No I would use metal to be honest
