I reckon if it needs to be as compact as possible then knowing exactly how many ways needed would be a bonus too.

Good point Andy,there’s 5 circuits at moment but with a unit that small I like to leave a couple spare if possible just to future proof

I hate it when I bring a board to a job and it ends up that I needed a bigger one because there are so many doubled up circuits to split down. Especially important if you are going to order from SBS as you can't pop down the wholesalers for extra bits.

I'd make room for a not so compact CU.

Oh wow I've never seen a 9mm wide MCB before!

Which is why I don’t consider SBS as a serious supplier ...
