Merlin/Square D 3ph fuse board problems...

[Sonor]

Has anyone had a problem with the covers for these boards?

I've fitted a Merlin and the cover apertures, where the circuit breakers come through are about 2mm out. I had to put the cover on as the board was replacing a smaller board in a busy Restaurant.

But then, when fitting a Square D board the same thing!

As you can see there is a gap and the cover is resting on the breakers on the both sides.

The Boards are Square D KQII and Merlin Gerin Isobar 4, which to all intents and purposes are the same board, but painted a different colour.

I will be contacting my wholesaler to see what gives.

Personally i have never had a problem with either.

looks like the breakers have been put in the wrong way??

No, that is the way the mcbs fit in Sqaure D DBs

I have had similar issues and mine were barley a mm out.

A little gentle persuasion soon had it back on neatly.

Have had the same problem, just slightly out still probably within manufactures tolerances. hook one edge of the lip of the aperture on one side of the breakers and manhandle

maybe not just these two, had exact same problem with Dornan Smith, used Jason S. rectification method.

Persuasion, gentle or otherwise makes no difference. I've fitted plenty of Merlins/Square D's before, just these two have caused problems.
