DB installed connected & tested

[cliffed]

Just your thoughts on this DB,it’s a Lewden type,I personally don’t like them.
Bus bar,not ideal,main switch on right,space very tight to make connections,hate the rcbo’s,screws in front of each other,making it hard to retighten .

you call that tight? wait till you try a schneider easy9.

I don't mind them for the money...my preference is hager but the lewden boards are my go to if there's a budget.

If there wasn't so much slack or the slack was dressed a little better then IMO it would make an easier job.

My issue with the Lewden boards is the advised torque settings, I have two torque drivers and with either if I torque them to manufacturers settings it has a tendency to damage the rcbo screws.

Why is the up front RCD not time delayed?

TT?

Agree with torque settings for screws.
Also I hate the main switch isolator on the right, much prefer left.
Anyone know why some boards have the main switch on the right?

Is it a TT system?
Just curious.
