To tie wrap or not to tie wrap. That is the question

[casperLennon]

I’m doing a 48way three phase board at work with 34 circuits. How to keep it tidy without tie wraps? Or is tie wraps the way to go

I’m not a fan of binding cores in miles of insulating tape , it looks very amateur imo

A bit of 4mm 6mm colour sleeve would look the bizz

But we had no sleeving. We have been through this earlier in the thread

My point is use sleeping next time

These are the boards in the flats. I like them except for the bus bar and how it goes behind the neutral

Put RCD on other side and move neutral bar over too.
Bring cables in at top instead?

 

[casperLennon]

Cables have to come in at the bottom do the board is the right height. I’m on price so I not gonna move the neutral bar

Tell him the cost of using insulation tape is above using sleeving in terms of labour.

that is the schneider design, same as the square D boards. L busbar is cranked behind the N. makes you thing when fitting the tails .....L is on right N on left.

Not seen one of those before.
No sliders.
Shame about the earths.

It's a KQ board based on the Square D pattern, not an acti-9.

How is the armoured going to be glanded off ?
