Ok .. Em, 'correct power into the unit'?

More than 32A. It'd be pointless upgrading the MCB if there isn't any
more power in the garage than say 20A from the house.


Course (I knew that g) and funnily was dreaming about that when I
woke up just now (3 hours early) ;-(

Ok, possibly 25A then .. I'll check tomorrow .. Is there much between
this Clipsal and the Volex one ?

Not really, they both do what they say on the tin. Both cheap units
for sticking in a garage or similar.

Ok, given more money and ignoring the number of ways / split etc, what
would *you* choose?

The new
CU is plastic cased so I assume I will have to get a new gland (or
re-use this one (?)) and an earthing washer / ring and solder / screw
a tail to it and up to the earth bar?

A 'banjo', (or earth tag), is what you want.


Doh! And I wonder what it looks like!

Thanks again mate ...
