On some brands you may have to bend the casing in the process of beating out the knockout, but in others you'd struggle to drill a hole in the middle of a knockout without it falling out, not that you'd trust the earth continuity to your earthed sheathing anyway.nobody heard of these beasties then????
Thought the best option was a 4x4 box terminate to that then run the cables to the CSU. Or am I 30 years out of date lol.There's loads of room where the knockouts aren't to accommodate SWA and conduit. But as said earlier in the thread, you can get plain case options and now round knockout options.
I used to do that or a similar method every time with insulated consumer units. I have nearly always glanded straight into small metal clad boards though.Thought the best option was a 4x4 box terminate to that then run the cables to the CSU. Or am I 30 years out of date lol.
First time using Hager ADA reduced height RCBOs (as opposed to their tall ADN range).
See how beautifully they match up with their MTN circuit breakers (circuit far right next to main switch, for SWA feed to shed).

Compare to BG, my "go to" budget (and garage DB) brand... can't even get their MCBs to match...

I do wish Hager would make boards with round knock-outs, though.
Can I ask, what did you pay for board & per rcbo; supplier?
TIA
I've always found Hager to be the best looking CUs. They just look so much more pro.
Especially the big three phase models.
Since when has ‘looking pro’ been an important design consideration in the protectection of an installation?

They're what most of the wholesalers sell, and TBH when you want a holesaw you go into the wholesalers and ask for a specific size and not a specific make.I thought Starrett, where the go to hole cutters.

I’m completely the opposite, love the square/rectangular knockouts to match the trunking and dislike the round onesFirst time using Hager ADA reduced height RCBOs (as opposed to their tall ADN range).

Oh dear, type testing out the window.I've taken to using the Wylex metal blanks in my boards. They take up much less room in the van than bags of Hager blanks.
Interesting, I've just ordered Hager Design 50 consumer units for home here and the reduced height RCBOs, surge protection, doorbell transformer and a few other bits. Not seen the Design 50 in the flesh before. I'm still not really a fan of their 3 phase stuff, the enclosures are flimsy rubbish, prefer Eaton for 3 phase, now that Merlin stuff has turned to sh**.
I still don't own a working TV.
