Best IP65 adaptable box with Din rail for outside placement.

[Andy C]

Hi All,

Quick question, I am going to provide a supply to the above from the far side of a house to intern supply 32A to a large hot tub and also a supply for some later outside lighting and maybe a patio heater. What reliable box would you suggest? It must have a din rail and 2 connection points/rails for neutral and earth bars. The connections to the box will be max 3 small armoured cables all bottom entry.

I am having difficulty finding one to suit my purpose and hope you more experienced types out there have fitted something similar.

If you're using a DIN rail why not use DIN rail terminals for the N & E?

I wanted to keep it as small as possible.

For Adaptable box with din rail connections read.

Adaptable box
Length of din rail.
Suitable Dinrail connectors.

3 circuits, what about Ocpd / Rcbo?

What about Garage unit as Andy78, mounted within a large Adaptable box if you don't want them easily accessable.

Just read you want small.
Looks like small adaptable box with Choc blocks in it then.

I could mount it quite high so you would need to stand on something to access it.
If I used an IP 65 garage unit then it would be easier but rule out any further expansion. I wanted the RCD outside and was going to take the supply from a non protected 32amp breaker in the main consumer unit to prevent RCDs in series and discrimination issues.

why have something with a din rail in then if you want i small why not just get something like
Adaptable Box IP65 110 x 110 x 67mm - http://www.screwfix.com/p/adaptable-box-ip65-110-x-110-x-67mm/17962
has termination points to connect cables to.

how many RCDs/MCBs would you be putting on the DIN Rail?
