With dual tariff over there, do you have 2 separate meters?
Or does it depend on the DNOs?

 

[Jon Bateson]

Sometimes two meters or a single meter with timed extra live output

 

[Jon Bateson]

Sorry line

 

[buzzlightyear]

looking at that c/unit there is a lot of juice being pulled ,what are the tails may I ask .

 

[MrShine94]

Hello MrShine94
From my perspective and at first glance the terminations other than the Live of the bottom 16A Rcbo ,they look very neat

Is the board spaced out from the Plyboard ? the cables seem to have been squashed between the unit and the Ply

Board is being boxed in and have used some 2 by 1 to bring the board more forward

 

[MrShine94]

Have those fly leads been shortened?

No they have not been shortened just tucked behind

 

[MrShine94]

Crenellated grommet strip, dang it!!

Yes I could do with some of that current grommet strip is rubbish having to tape it on

 

[MrShine94]

Could be significantly improved by it not being made by Proteus.

How are the cables managed outside of the board ? Looks like they are just draped across the wall.

everything is being boxed in

 

[MrShine94]

Havnt we seen this photo before?

That was a previous board from same site

There's no need for that language !

Main earth enters through a RPG.

 

[Spoon]

Main earth enters through a RPG.

Using a Rocket Propelled Grenade to make a hole for the main earth is a bit extreme...

Main earth enters through a RPG.

A what??

 

[buzzlightyear]

Using a Rocket Propelled Grenade to make a hole from the main house is a bit extreme...

lol.

 

[Wilko]

Rockets and artillery are really better used outdoors, I find.

 

[magnoliafan89]

Im still struggling to see if the tails and the earth come through the same entry point

 

[Jon Bateson]

Do the main tails and main earth enter the same point?

Why ?

 

[westward10]

It is a four-core swa glanded to the top of the enclosure.

 

[The Ghost]

better used outdoors

Mind you, they are stunningly effective indoors also!
