I've just finished tidying up the CU so there is space to fit RCBOs in

is the best way to treat the neutral and earth tails from the RCBOs ?
Can they be cut ?
Should they be rolled up ?
Of course its fine strand wire, so I suppose ferrules would be needed ...

They must be cut down to size (esp the neutrals)

I would not bother with ferrules for the neutrals.

The last one I did I put all the earth leads together.

Rather too much visible copper above some of the terminals for some
tastes.


I did say unfinished job:-)

That was a bit of a rushed job. I only had a couple of hours to do it
and I had a sore head that day - been out for drinks with Geoff CETLtd
the night before.
