No space for new CU.

[OldskoolUpNorth]

Afternoon all,

Just got back from inspecting a domestic that is having a new CU installed.

Thing is, the DNO in all their wisdom have been out and fitted a posh new isolator as requested, FOR FREE, and put it in the only space big enough for a 17th board.

Now to the question,

Can a CU be mounted vertically?? i.e. On it's side. it's the only way it'll go in, and I don't think the guy will go for RCBOs and a smaller board just wi the cost of em.

Anybody ever fitted a CU vertical? or is it a big no-no.

Thanks as always.

thanks for all the info guys,

Sure you want to know,

It's done,
It's on it's side,
It looks ok,
But...
Won't be doing it again...

And all for the sake of a 17th board with 6 circuits.....!

RCBOs all the way from now on.

Just read this and was about to suggest a nice small board with full RCBO (just fitted one) but see that you have already completed the work.
