I would find it funny to see a Merlin MCB in a Chint board. One extreme to the other

CHINT miss spelled CHIT is exactly what they are specialy the 32a 3ph "D"s an exgaffer of mine bought cos they were 1/3 rd the price of over priced M.Gs till we ended up having to replace all 45of them due to constant overheating and tripping on one site

I just bought a pile of chint stuff hope its all right surely its as good as that over priced hager / shnider mouller abb stuff

i've used a few chint CUs. no problems at all. one thing i like about them is the solid internal tails to the RCDs. not like some boards with huge floppy tails taking up all the space above the MCBs.

Hager or Merlins all the way m8 no call backs worth the extra every time

The solid internal tails are one of the reasons i really disliked the Chint boards. I like a bit of flexibility at times but the other reason i wouldn't use a Chint board now is because i can pick a fully loaded Hager board up cheaper then i can buy a Chint from my local wholesaler. Plus the Hager has floppy tails, got to love the floppy tails!

i,ve just looked on tlc, board £53, 12 MCBs @ £2.99 £36. total £89.+ VAT. chint board fully loaded is £65 inc. vat, so a big difference.

Could just make you own tails kit, I've started doing it, it alows great flexibility when picking boards

I don't buy them from TLC though and the Chint ones at my local wholesaler are dearer then the TLC ones. Recently one of the wholesalers i am using where kicking out Hager boards for £55+VAT fully loaded. Even at normal price they are £35+VAT as a bare unit.

 

[telectrix]

at that price i would use hager. never seen them trhat cheap though. come to think, there are only 2 whlesalers locasl, CEF and elec. ctr. elec. ctr only sell wylex and cef push their own crap.
