A plus point is having a separately fed annexe, some where to run a lead
light from and more importantly, somewhere to boil the kettle!

I did look at just fitting the RCBOs into the CU and not bothering with
the terminals, HA!! not a chance, it is cramped even with just one
single L&N from each RCBO Never again!

Any way, thanks to all for their advice a while back, it was much
appreciated.


Photos please if you could be so kind


I'm not sure that I am brave enough to do that, but here goes.

Taken with a rather washed out phone. The spaghetti to the right is alarm
and door bell wiring. The 3 terminal combination on the right hand side
of the DIN rail is for the smoke detectors and their interconnecting line.

Yes there is still an MCB in there, not too sure what to do about that, it
is the feed to the garage, about 3m of internal cable to a 2 way "garage"
CU with RCD and 2 MCBs for lights and power. Ideas please?

There is about a 2" gap behind the CU Don't look too closely at the 2
copper pipes to the right, they are central heating, when it was put to
bed the cabling was cable tied together and away from the pipes.

All thoughts, comments etc. most welcomed, what ever they maybe.


CONGRATULATIONS

It looks rather neat inside the CU and DIN rail box.

Much neater than the cows **** of a job I did on my parents Starbreaker CU
yesterday morning when I fitted a couple of RCBOs and an MCB in 10 minutes
before ****ing off to the pub at 11am and going out on an all day bender in
Bridlington.

You asked for comments. I have only one.

The DIN box and CU need to be IP4X rated.

Did the cables originally run behind some sort of boxing in? Did your
reference "put to bed" mean that you have now replaced the front of this
boxing in and hidden the cables?. The boxing in may provide the IP4X rating
for the DIN box and CU. If not then it is only a small job to meet that
requirement.

Thank you for posting the photo. It just goes to prove that DIYers can do a
good job.
