Terminating various Swa into Main Panel Board

Installing panel board,swa’s from 70mm to 16mm,all sub mains,using extension cableways,but struggling to terminate in the top areas,anyone know a better way,than steel trunking across the top of board.

Some boards have extension pieces you can buy that go on the top or bottom, to help with terminating wires.

Just what I've always known them as. Only ever used them on the bottom of DBs for large incomer kits to be honest though.

They're wider than the standard side extensions, anything in particular going in them?

I moved the meter into the top extension box on the one I fitted recently, getting the 2x150mm incomer behind it wasn't exactly possible.

Personally I like to see a DB as a standalone install. Trunking mounted under and cables then made off into the trunking.

When designing I want to make future maintenance as easy as possible and a straight DB change is far far quicker without loads of cables made of into it
