Put this in today, I hope it doesn't burst into flames.:tongue3: Didn't have the time to faff about and get the cabling 'perfect' as I had so much to do today but I think it's ok. With the BG boards I generally 're number' the earth bar as to me it's illogical having the CPCs running in the opposite order of the neutrals,I'll miss the insulated CUs. Sorry about the
poor photo. :)

Not being critical, but seeing as this is a hi integrity unit, why don't you leave a blank between the main switch and RCD1? It looks like you have space
 
I wonder what your client will think in a weeks time if they find out their newly installed board no longer complies with current regulations?
I've been installing Am3 boards since the BYB. I think it's poor practice not to give clients up to date installations whether you agree with new regulations or not.

How do you know the OP didn't offer both options?
 
"Did not have the time to faff about, too much on, think it will be ok" you are falling into the "that will do" category, not a good sign, every customer deserves the best, your reputation is worth more than anything, always give 100% it will pay off in the long term.

Those of us that operate in the real world don't have time to make it look like a masterpiece, Dave's example is perfectly neat and acceptable IMO.
 
Yes Nice Job , Is that not a gray cable in circuit 4 ? , I have noticed that since we started using brown cables they don't seam to ever use the same shade, I know reds were slightly different but not as much as the browns
 
And AMD2 fuseboards will still be installed by muppets and builders until they run out in 2016

Very true Murdoch. But they will never run out, because as we all know they only catch fire in houses! Never in shops etc!!! They will probably just get more expensive due to less demand. :tounge_smile:

How are the BG boards now mate? I sort of stopped using them around a year ago due to poor screws/terminal blocks, and having to bin numerous MCBs due to the bottom cage clamp grounding out. If that's the correct terminology!
