I'm looking for a narrow 3 phase distribution board - narrow so

that
it will fit inside a standard outside meter box so no more than

360mm
wide - only needs to be 4 way but more would be handy. (Standard

ones
seem to be 405mm so don't fit). This is for a local distribution

point
on the farm and the meter box is already in place. Any pointers

would
be appreciated - can be used if *in good nick.


Why can't you use a bit of SWA and stick the dis board inside the
building? Won't you need local isolation anyway?

'cos this distribution point is mid way between three buildings each
about 50 metres away, and is sited in preparation for a container that
will be placed next to it in about a year!


Ah!

I have used individual metal clad switch fuses but my main intake is in
our hall and beginning to look over crowded.

Presumably you could daisy chain two?

Memshield 2 (125 amp TP) looks narrow but their website is pretty
impenetrable.

An expert will be along shortly:-)

Use an MEM or similar *fuse*board, not MCB board, these are available
in a variety of sizes, depending on the amps rating and number of
ways, unlike MCB boards which are all the same width for three-phase
types.
