MEM3/Eaton Panel Boards

[rmaynard]

has anyone fitted these lately? i find that the tab colours on the breakers make it look unprofessional?

Square D? worra loada bollox!

In my personal opinion they aren't very nice boards but its been a while since I last crossed paths with one of the buggers, are they still using the plug-in mcb system?

Haha I got on well with the square d boards, the last one I fitted (3 years ago mind) did have the plug in MCB's etc.

What didn't you like about em?

Based on my experience of fitting a couple I found that they seemed very shallow. Very flimsy boxes with gland plates that tended to pull away from the board a little too easily. The doors don't lift off like MEM ones, this winds me up when taking the lid off and it weighs twice as much as it needs to cos you cant take the door off. And I seem to recall the lids don't fit onto the box very nicely, think it was that they just sit on the front of the box rather than mating with it nicely like others.

I am working off memory here and only fitted one or two so my judgement may be clouded a bit, and i'm comparing them to MEM/eaton stuff so probably an unfair comparison.
