Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this unit compatible with RCBOs?

Yes, it is specifically designed to provide generous internal space for single module RCBOs.

What standard does this unit meet?

It is fully 18th edition compliant for safe electrical installations.

Can I use this for outdoor installations?

While the metalclad construction is durable, it is intended for indoor use. Outdoor installations would require additional weatherproofing.

Does it come with an RCD?

This model is an Isolator Incomer, meaning it requires the use of individual RCBOs for circuit protection.

Where should I position the earth and neutral cables?

The unit features clearly labeled terminals located at the top of the chassis for easy access.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty closing the front cover

Check that all wiring is neatly dressed and not obstructing the busbar or the cover hinges.

Terminal screws feel loose

Ensure you have used a properly calibrated torque screwdriver to tighten connections to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.

Knockouts are difficult to remove

Use a proper knockout punch tool rather than forcing the metal, which can deform the enclosure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable metalclad construction
  • Generous internal layout eases cable management
  • Clear terminal labeling reduces installation time
  • Multiple knockout options for flexible routing
  • Fully compliant with current safety standards

Cons

  • Industrial aesthetic may not fit all home decors
  • Heavier than plastic-bodied equivalents
  • Requires professional installation by a qualified electrician

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should only be performed by a registered electrician. Before starting, ensure the main supply is isolated. The unit is designed for wall mounting using the provided fixing points. When routing cables, use the appropriate cable glands for your conduit or trunking size to maintain the IP integrity of the enclosure. To maintain the unit, conduct periodic visual inspections to ensure all terminal screws remain tight—as copper wiring can settle over time—and wipe the exterior with a dry, non-abrasive cloth to prevent dust accumulation.
