Fuseboard change advice

[Bradley6969]

Don’t do many fuse board changes, but what’s everyone’s preferred method, as I see people without labelling the old cables swap boards connect up neutrals and earths then leave line conductors last but how do they make sure each correspond to each other so you can identify the circuit like the 1st Line conductor should correspond to the 1st neutral and 1st earth
Thanks

I use flags and sharpie during the initial circuit testing after identifying what each cable supplies. Old boards tend to have multiple circuits on one fuse which in some cases require splitting onto separate mcb’s . I connect each circuit L N CPC A circuit at a time. Not sure if its the quickest but it works for me.

I use Partex numbers on each core and make notes on each cable as I disconnect from the old board

Consumer units are easy enough;
Dress in the neutrals, earths and then lives which have already been numbered up.
For dbs all depends on the layout..
Usually I will cut all the cables to the same length, number up the cores with wago push ons and then dress in as I go along..
The last few boards I’ve done have been bespoke ones.. Got an enclosure and populated with breakers, contractors, etc all mounted on din rails
