Any view on the quality of the FuseBox brand of CUs fitted as replacement in the second vid and how they fit in around the rest of the pack, Contactum, Wylex, BG etc. Hadn't heard of them before. |

They look reasonable, but the only reason I've noticed them is that several sparkys on youtube seem to have been supplied with them FoC for demo/promo purposes ... |

CU change & rewire is on the way here shortly hence why I am asking. Hager would be lovely but cost not really justifiable, BG phaps a bit too cheap. They look reasonable, but the only reason I've noticed them is that several sparkys on youtube seem to have been supplied with them FoC for demo/promo purposes ... Some discussion about them on the IET forums (I think it was) and there was some concern about the whether the new company would last, leading to support/spares issues. A main distibutor stepped in and supported the company, MD (personally known), quality and value for money suggesting that the nay sayers would regret not taking them up whilst they were on value pricing. The installation using one on the fire replacement vid up thread made it look good, roomy and easy to configure but the guy was an obvious pro and I am not. He was doing a full RCBO install as will I. |

Hager would be lovely but cost not really justifiable are Hagar that expensive? an 20-way CU with just the main switch is about £65, their RCBOs about £24 ea, same sort of price as screwfix for BG ones. https://www.consumerunitworld.co.uk/hager-vml120-20-way-rcbo-consumer-unit-1976-p.asp https://www.consumerunitworld.co.uk/rcbos-234-c.asp |

If it was for adam, and you are not going to indicate here what they are,
then why not send them to him by email. Thus you are obviously lying in the subject line, you want people out here tto click links for which they have no idea of the content, which in this day and age would most of the time be folly and posssibly dangerous to the health of the computer.

It's obvious they're youtube links, so the danger to the computer is close to zero The content could indeed be anything (subject to youtube policies) in this case it's about a consumer unit that caught fire (one from the electrician that had to replace it, and another from bigclive tearing it down for clues). |

Hence the reason for 'Amendment3' ?? requiring all new consumer units to be metal cased, although there is still the issue of how you seal all the knockouts without also causing local overheating of the cables where they exit the box. Is there some special intumescent gooey stuff for doing this ? |

Even more interesting is the link over to the right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDGeyJnoqZQ "AFDD's" aka 421.1.7 A brace of ARM core powered circuit boards inside an MCB !!. Does this mean plug-in mechanical timers will be unusable ?. The one I use to turn the porch CFD light on/off doesn't seem to sharply switch it off but there a second or buzz. |
