Cu change to plan and has 3x submains swa feeding outbuildings. One of these is on its own switch fuse recently done and nice and neat and the existing swa isnt going to reach new cu anyway, not something ive done before but cant see why i cant put straight blank connector 100A din connector type(cant think of the name atm) & 25mm tail to existing switch fuse.
Anybody know the part name im looking for?
 
Do you mean a “sub feed lug” ?
this is the same shape as a MCB or more commonly on moulder case breakers, but has no switch or overload protection, basically a connection unit.
Cannot find any images on google, just a load of American Square D stuff comes up

I tried to source them from the wholesalers before but they didn't know what I was talking about. They even phoned Hager who also didn't know what I was talking about.

I think they may have been Schneider ones that I saw before. I think you will struggle to find them.

Found these images, but they are old QOE Square D, I’ve seen them on newer square D (KQ) in the past but cant find any new ones...
