[Gavin John Hyde]

Just read online that MK are to discontinue the Sentry consumer unit range.
Blaming issues moving from 17th to 18th edition.
I didnt realise MK used siemens technology inside there protective devices.
MK have been going down hill for a while the prices they charge I would unless an offer is around always go for Hager.

Not sure what this means in future for getting mcbs etc for existing boards? Might pay to get a couple of mcbs of each rating soon just to ensure you got a stock.

Anyone else waiting for BG, Chint, Proteus etc. to discontinue their circuit protection products?

You can buy Hager with no knock outs

Got a rare hager board yesterday after reading this thread, must say I was very impressed with it. Only let down for me was the square knockouts. I know they give grommet strip with it but round would just be easier.

Most of the Hager boards are available with round knockouts. Just look for the "RK" at the end of the code.

....incoming....shameless sales pitch....

What is the difference with the high integrity ones?

What is the difference with the high integrity ones?

High integrity refers to a dual rcd consumer unit where a couple of ways are excluded by the two rcds so you can either fit rcbos or mcbs.

Ah I see, thank you

 

[mattg4321]

With the Hager high integrity you can configure how many ways on each RCD and how many unprotected.

I too dislike knock-outs on consumer units, they never seem to line up with anything!

Perhaps it’s your ‘anything’ that doesn’t line up with the knockouts
