HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL. Hi Barx, Kerching also reviewed the FELO range and I believe he quite liked it. He returned my sample and I raffled it off on the Forum. I still have them in stock and my latest price is £35.00 + VAT for the handle and £5.00 + VAT for each blade. You will see at...

Tell me about it, Slowhand!! Had a bottom jaw wisdom tooth removed yesterday and they had to cut the bone to remove it. When the anaesthetic wore off, the pain was off the scale, accompanied by ongoing bleeding. The good news is that after dosing myself with co-codamol  and ibuprofen last...

421.1.201 says that consumer units should comply with BSEN61439-3, not be certified to BSEN61439-3. If a consumer unit with the generic equivalent of the branded device was assessed against the requirements of BSEN61439-3, it would comply, but would not be certified with a mix of brand devices...

Hi Kerching, I know what you mean about the Curve box. Some customers were asking for a cosmetically pleasing unit and the Curve seemed to fit the bill. A couple of customers asked specifically for it. However, since I aimed it at the lounge/hallway type application, it is not likely to have...

STOCKING THE DENMANS RANGE, I HAVE SOLD QUITE A FEW OF THE "BASICS" STYLE It is proving very popular and there is plenty of room for Standard RCBOs. AND OF COURSE, THERE IS ACRES OF ROOM FOR COMPACTS!! The "CURVE " range is just as spacious and is suitable for being on show in a hallway...

5 PRICES Winter 2016.xls THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAME BACK TO ME, REGARDING WHICH AMD3 BOX TO STOCK. Most people reported having back-knockout problems with the LiVE boxes and I had suspended ordering stocks of them, until this problem, along with a few other ones, had been resolved. I am...

WHICH RANGE/S OF BOARD SHOULD I RUN WITH?  I have not been to happy with my current range of AMD3 boxes, mainly due to the almost impossible removal of the back knockouts. As a result of this, I have been looking at other ranges I could offer in addition to the LiVE ones. That's why I left a...

Hi Dave, It looks like a great result and thank you posting the photos. I see you were able to accommodate all the RCBO neutral and earth leads, without cutting them back, with the white earths bunched neatly in the top L/H corner. Even if you had cut back the neutrals, the 2-screw terminals...

AS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED, I HAVE HAD TO INCREASE PRICES ON THE LiVE BOXES AND RCBOs. I have absorbed the latest price increase during August and September, but I can no longer hold prices. Attached therefore, is our latest AUTUMN 2016 PRICE LIST, which comes into effect 1st October...

MY COMPACT RCBO RANGE HAS BEEN RE-CERTIFIED TO EN61009-1:2012, INCLUDING THE A12:2016 UPDATE. The Designers/Manufacturers of my Compact RCBO range have decided to renew the CE certification of their DL7NL-40 and include the latest 2016 update to the Standard. This is because there is an...

Hi Kev, Thanks for the explanation above, as I was unable to respond to the comments. Hopefully the job went well and perhaps you may try another of my DBs on a future job. SBS Dave 

Hi Tony, I don't have a problem with that. At that stage, it's not my property anyway. I realise that my previous label  "F*CK OFF 5WW", may not be universally understood, but the one below would be. Dave, I realise that puts my chance of an order on the iffy list. SBS Dave

Below is the final arrangement with the double busbars. You will see that the back busbar is bent backwards by 90 deg and the front one is straight. They are both independently insulated. My first arrangement was with two straight busbars, sharing a common insulator, using a plastic strip I...

Hi Dave, Don't worry about the 50A terminals.  They also do a 63A one in the range and they are all 10KA ssc. I'll take a photo of the double Live Busbars and post it here. SBS Dave 

Hi Rob, No offence taken. All I am doing is working with a respected Forum Member towards a solution to a problem that many electricians would not dare to tackle. Before anybody tells me the neutral bar label is wrong, I am working on that. The box is "work in progress" I believe the MAIN...

I'm a Marketing Man, I satisfy the customer's needs. Dave said a space next to the Main Switch, so that's what I showed. Others suggested labels, so that's what I did. The photos were to illustrate the labelled metal blank Only, not the final configuration. If Dave wants the label to say ...

Hi Andy, That's the whole point of a danger label: if it looks bad, then people will look at it, including the next electrician. If the customer wants a few extra circuits at some later time and an electrician does a visual survey (without taking the lid off) and with the labels inside, he...

No problem with cutting off the busbar pins and it certainly wouldn't affect any warranties. With regard to heat dissipation for the big load RCBOs, I think ProDave's idea is a good one and I could label the blanks as shown. I would also use metal blanks, since there is increased risk of fire...

Hi Dave, Just replied to your e-mail. SBS Dave
