I may be seeking the holy grail here, but does anyone have any instant thoughts for a compact 3 phase distribution board that doesn't cost the earth?
I only need 1 outgoing 3 phase distribution circuit and 1 single phase final circuit, with an 100ma RCD main switch.

This is all outdoors with the supply in an IP cabinet and the distribution board on the other side of the post.
(This is also next door to a substation, and I may yet convince the customer to enquire about PME)

The current cabinet is rusting away to the point it's affecting the downstream earthing (no banjo or fly lead) and instead of replacing like for like it would be nice to find something more compact that the current 6 x 3 phase way board.
Any thoughts welcome.

Cheapest I could find is this, don't know if it would suit though.


 
Proteus cough cough, used to do the linear 3 phase boards, im sure i recently discovered somebody else does too
Thanks. Current board is Proteus! I think I heard Fusebox were about to release such a beast....

Thanks - yes I saw this earlier. I'd need to look into availablility of a suitable incomer and a single phase RCBO.
Ideally (no pun intended!) I'd prefer a more established brand.
 
I've fitted the proteus one before and found it to be pretty good! Also parts for them will be available for a while.
I know 3phase bus bars are available I use the Hager version quite regularly.

I'd agree the Proteus ABX seems the obvious choice.
The only thing is that I need to confirm it's only an 100A supply. There were that many issues I didn't write it down....
 
I would look at schnider acti9 3Ph boards.
Only make we use at work.
Everything readily available.
Not much more the the one above.
Think you can get smaller ones for a out £120 ish
