I was still at school in the 80's.
i wozernt born then!
12 way was the biggest they did, main switch in the middle with 6 ways each side.
They also did a 7 way with 6 normal ways on the left of the main switch and a 45amp way on the right of the main switch
That must have been an MCB, or HRC fuse, as i've never seen a 45A 3036 fuse!! lol!!
Something else that hasn't been made clear or pointed out, these old Wylex CU's were also able to employ BS 1361 HRC fuses. Which was another feather in the Wylex cap. There had never been a CU or DB that could be utilised for BS 3036 Rewirable (course protection), BS 1361 (close protection) and Miniature Circuit Breakers (close protection)!!
I was right with green then!
I might remember to get a pic of the 100A rewireables next time i'm swearing at one.
Yeah I was talking commercial/industrial, I forgot this thread was purely about CU's.
Now at what point did a fuseboard cease to be a fuseboard and become a CU? Nobody seems to have informed the general public yet as they still generally look blank when you ask where the consumer unit is, generally you have a better chance if you ask for the fuseboard. Mind you having said that some don't know what or where that is either.
