domestic fuseboard

[switched on]

Hi i always come on here just to see what everyone is installing and i think it is a fab website just to see others problems and installs etc. Im installing a 25mm 3 core swa into a domestic property as the dno is in an outbuilding i have installed a switch fuse at the origin but i was wandering if it was ok to use a metal ccu in the house. I cant imagine anything being wrong with this just easier to gland to etc or i suppose i could put a galv box next to it. Just want to get it tip top as hopefully im having my napit inspection on this job. What do you guys suggest or do. Thanks in advance

Nothing wrong with metalclad.

Most manufacturers do some pleasant looking units.

Only thing is if it is on a TT system then supply cables need to be protected by 100mA time delayed RCD.

I dont see much problem glanding off into a decent plastic consumer unit,then using a tail earth (if the board is ceiling level and the swa gland can be hidden)

if your glanding into a plastic box/ cu you could use the Esinuts Electric center stock them look btr and neater than a frying pan

MK's metalclad CU's look just like their insulated ones.....

no its still a tncs system as its only 10 metres away but he wanted all the meters outside in a barn basically. Yeah i think thats going to be the option swa into a metal clad mk sentry board. Thanks for your advice
