Quick question

[sjm]

What type of box/enclosure would you guys recommend to use for mounting next to DNO's external meter cabinet for housing main RCD/isolator.
I'm thinking that it will need something IP44 rated and readily accessible without the need to hunt for a screwdriver or similar tool.

Thanks in advance.

Looks a good little unit, i'll remember that one.

I was looking for something more like the meter box as I've got to bring in 3 phase so 4 tails in and 4 tails out. 25mm tails. I was thinking of mounting the RCD inside of the enclosure.

That enclosure looks fine for what you needs, I take it you are using a 3 phase RCD, as that is a 4 pole enclosure C/W din rail, it should suffice. 4 tails in the bottom, 4 tails going out the top.

Thanks Dillb. However I would be slightly concerned about having tails out of the top and maintaining IP rating.
Anyway I was having a bit of a brain fade and have found IP65 electrical cabinets from meterboxes direct.
