SPD Board xxxxxxxxxxxx

[ChrisElectrical88]

Somebody asked about a month ago if i had a picture of the SPD Board Hager do. Cannot seem to find the thread, anyway i have just done my first one since. Pictures attached.

Quality make of board, really solid.

I know its not the neatest, i do one cable at a time instead of all CPCs, then Ns then Ls and i hate cable ties in a board.

Are there any ferrules on those RCD neutral tails?

Haha they are pre crimped so are classed as solid core.

I am a user of ferruls, dont worry.

Looks fine to me

Not very well crimped then as there's a strand loose on the left...

I only asked as it was difficult to make out in the first pictures.

Just got these DBs recently and think they're great. Why did you site it so high though?

Looks like a really nice job. Only (very!) minor gripe would be why didn't you leave a spare 'unprotected' way on the main switch. Be useful if you come to fit an additional circuit later that wants to be on an RCBO/doesn't require RCD protection.

Oh and get some blanks fitted!

Dont think it would be hard to just push everything over and cut those two spare bus bars on the first RCD to make way for that circuit. However with the 4 ring mains, outside lighting circuit and with diversity its weighing in at 104.8A, another circuit needed or been possible isnt likely.

Is there a reg stating that ferrules must be used.

Fine stranded conductors should be suitably treated or words to that effect

In fairness whether two or eight ring final circuits are used to supply the same load won't affect the current draw.

Looks like a good job
