anyone fitted a chint board

[Phil]

as the title. I know they are the cheaper end of price but its the link bars inside the boards that make them look so much better inside

Never fitted a pre-assembled board but we've tried the MCB's and RCD's on a couple of budget jobs. The screws are prone to stripping when you give them that final 'umph' as you tighten them and we had a couple of internal mechanical failures where the MCB's just refused to reset. I don't think they're complete garbage but I do think it might be worth spending a little extra for something a little more higher-end quality wise

I seem to remember coming across Chint on a job somewhere... Can't remember where though but I've a feeling they're rebadged BG...

not fitting one anytime soon with the pot and all. just seen them in the wholesalers and liked the bars. look a lot tidier than the cable.

Just found where it was talked about on another thread...

Chint = MCG = CEF "own brand" as far as I remember

the problem with those solid bars is that you can't alter the config. they're not as bad as some make out. i've used a couple. they deffo not BG.

You're right, just found my old thread about it. Reason I thought BG was because I used a BG RCD to replace the faulty Chint/MCG one that I was using.

I blame the broken wrist and having to drag a fibre glass pot around the keyboard oh and the fact that im typing with 2 fingers

Chint boards don’t proved out to be worth for anyone. I don't like the internal tails of this kind of boards. We always use fully loaded boards cheaper than buying a Chint. I have used this board few days ago but getting lots of mechanical failures in it.

Treat yourself to a Schneider isobar 4c boards they are the nuts

Fitted one once, was fine. No failures good RCD kinetics. And veh, veh, cheap. Was peddled bt Wilts
