3rd Amendment Metal Consumer Unit Product review

[Midwest]

might have a punt on the starbreaker metal jobby. i like the plug-in MCB idea.

Fitted a plastic Starbreaker a couple of years ago. Seem crazy we are being bombarded about using torque drivers etc etc, to make sure all the terminals are properly tightened, and these mcb's just push in!

which idea was the inspiration for Mr. Wago. spring tension contacts beat screws, hands down.

Only until they give out and start to burn.
Just look at the troubles federal stab looks had. And it's interesting that square d's plug in MCBs disappeared out of the limelight along with the plug in panel boards that were around for a while

Don't doubt the technology, just don't understand the ideas behind reg 421.1.201. Use this system, problem solved, plastic fantastic. :rofl:

Lovely boards to work with imo. The square knockouts to the rear are a complete nightmare but that's the only downside.

I thought that was only an interim/stopgap before they brought the easy9 stuff in!

that link is to the easy9. not plug in breakers with them.

If I remember rightly it was a square D TP board that I ended up ****ting the MCBs in with my rubber hammer that's normally reserved for beating MiCC into submission

Not sure, the link I gave is this years for AM3 boards though. I recall fitting a Schneider board about 4 years ago and the breakers were the same as the easy 9 stuff is now, but plainly branded as schneider.

To add to the confusion I saw a resi-9 board that came with a pre-wired toilet block that I supplied power to a couple of weeks before xmas. It was not plug in but still bottom cable entry with a floating busbar along the top of the breakers.

The plug in stuff is from page 28 onwards

I had to replace an old square d rcd in a 30 year old board before Christmas luckily a mate of mine had a replacement unusual design with tails in the bottom and the two outgoing are plug in at the top
