Stacked CU's

[Energetic]

Anyone know of any stacked CU's that meet the new regs? I have about 20 circuits and a narrow piece of wall to get it in.

Currently there is a timeline of smaller CU's spanning the decades all over the place and I need to consolidate them.

Thanks in advance.

Try Merlin Gerin's range

 

[drzsta]

Wylex Duplex range e.g. nmdis1414

I know Proteus do one

Yeah but if it's like the plastic version I would not recommend. Floppy busbsr with no support the one I did felt cheap even with cities prices

I know proteus have TRIED ! to do one ,
Corrected that mate

I know it's going to be carp without even seeing it

I've had the same issue as your self wholesalers around me were as useful as albino in a heat wave .in the end I fit 3 consumers

Il keep an eye on this thread interested to see wot pops up

Why not just get a standard 24 way metal clad 3- phase board and use the manufacturers single phase link kit to convert it to a single phase board ?

Unless I am missing something ? I am assuming the OP requires an SP board/s

Link to Wylex catalogue. I recently got an 18 way board and found it wouldn't fit in the space I had! Wylex wanted 20% re-stocking charge, so waiting for another opportunity!

In extreme circumstances what's to say you can't fit a CU vertically rather than horizontal ? :icon12:

PMSL, I hope you haven't fitted one.

what are the size limits and budget? schneider acti9 would fit or a tpn board with link kit

Luckily I haven't fitted one. just see it on a job I went to look at the other week to be fair was a very neat job looked a bit of room in it as well but I do know they have a bad reputation

If manufacturer will allow,re-align nomenclature,and off you go...

I have come across a board previously fitted in this manner,and had to re-label circuit identity and safety labels. Main switch,RCD and mcb nomenclature can be added,oriented correctly,but in addition to originals,not as replacements.

Or...just fit a suitable,purpose made DB :aureola:

Hi All, Thanks for the responses so far. I looked at a tpn DB with single phase kit but the cost of all the RCBOs scared them off.

Next option was the wylex duplex as mentioned above... Wylex haven't actually made any yet though... They're due to start production in January - and there's a waiting list... So say Eddies.

So in the end i am going for an insulated MK sentry stacking kit and getting it in before the year ends.. So i failed i guess....

what is this for if its 20 circuits is it commercial?

does it need rcd protection?

why does the board need to go there you could always have a main isolator there and that would satisfy the single point of isolation.
