Terminating more than one cable to MCB

[davesparks]

Dave I have no issue with busbar chambers and yes they have their place. My only problem is when i follow either a lazy or cowboy spark who as installed several sub mains without local isolation, you then get a very unhappy customer when you have to inform in that the entire factory as to be shut down if you need to replace/ upgrade a submain db etc.
I am 90% Industrial and see it all the time, at least with an mccb you can isolate individual subs without affecting the rest of the site.

Do you mean sub mains connected straight onto a bussbar? If so I can definately see your point!
You can rest assured I always fit a switchfuse

I should think so, too.:yesnod:
Got to say, I've never installed, nor come across many busbar systems, without, usually with db's scattered all over the place.

Is it too simple to suggest adding another board next to the existing sub board taking out one circuit then use that way to supply the new board where you'll connect the original removed circuit and your new circuits
I'm assuming you've already assessed the sub main and can get Mcb's to suit the original sub Db
