One out, one in, nice!

[VoltzElectrical]

I went for a metal clad BG board and all RCBO setup from Electric fix and was very impressed with the quality and price. £127 all in, delivered to my door as well. Which was nice.

Nope. In through the knockouts in the top with grommets of course. Why?

when you trunk them finals....the knockouts will be covered....

 

[VoltzElectrical]

put several pieces of trunking in...side to side....
you can seperate the finals so..lets say both legs of rings are in one enclosure (trunking)...and so on....
for what you need several ends of trunking...or an offcut you can get 3 stabs out of will cut it....

Do you REALLY think that's worth all the (chargeable) effort to hid a bit of twin and earth at high level in a rental property? That doesn't even look too bad swept in like that? Hardly 'rough' is it?

If you can get all those T&E through grommets while maintaining IP4X/IPXXD, you've done well.
Trunking, as suggested, would sort this anyway

Forgot to mention, no ugly flying earth wires on the RCBOs. :45:

dunno why I chose the stars wars thing though?

It satisfies IP2X as required, as not 'readily accessible'. :stooge_moe:

it would just finish it off....

I was going to mention maintaining IP4X/IPXXD but guitarist got there first. Could also PVC tube it

IP2X applies as not 'readily accessible'. Have you really ever seen tubed T&E above a consumer Unit in a domestic premises? Get Real.

 

[VoltzElectrical]

in fact, you can all post piccys of all YOUR IP4X domestic installs a few inches off the ceiling by the front door!

I'd have put it on a stand off board while I had the chance, then you wouldn't have to compromise the top of the enclosure.

I yes forgot PVC tube is not suitable for domestic lol silly me! They must be very very large step or ladders for it to be out of reach for me! If its that much out of reach, how do you expect them to safely reset rcbos ? You silly man

out of reach on a domestic?...
not allowed....

compromised? Really?

Interpret 'readily accessible' for me then, because I don't count it as a live part being 'readily accessible' if you have to go 8 feet up to the top of a consumer unit then poke a metal accessory smaller than the width of a finger 4 inches down into an enclosure and hope to find a live part. Prikc.

Voltz just remember to put a "no" in the appropriate box on your cert.
