Terminating 35mm

[meggerman]

I’d like recommendation on a distribution board that happily accepts 35mm tails.

Don’t think I’ve ever really seen one that wouldn’t to be honest?

Unless you’re including cheap crappy domestic consumer units.

That’s good to Know as I’m having to pull in a 35mm because of the length of run

 

[mattg4321]

Most incomers accept a minimum of 50mm2 from memory

Most would accept 35mm with no problem. If you’re worried about it get some reducer pins just in case.

What size is the main switch or OCPD going to be in the board?

Hager do a short flexI adapter so you can straight in to the adapter lead and then use the flexi into top of switch

Is it domestic or commercial?

As above, I think all of the switches and incomer RCD I have looked at take something like 50mm. BUT wrangling that in to place can be a challenge!

I'm guessing this is SWA and not separate double-sheathed tails?

Suitable SWA gland is no problem, but I don't know if any of the tails style of glands for domestic boards would be happy with 35mm, even assuming someone makes 6181Y in that size.

Reducing pin lugs are useful for getting oversized cables into main switches.
