Hi Dave, No problem. I could ship what you think you might need and Invoice you what you use, after you send back what you don't need. You don't have an Account with me, but I am happy to deal with you on an open Account on this job. It would be best to communicate via e-mail, as I don't...

Hi ProDave, There seems to be one hell of a load on the existing box, but presumably diversity will bring the max load to a reasonable level, ie within the capabilities of a Domestic CU. Presumably the Live Busbar is holding up, even though it may at times be handling more than it should be...

I shall be "out of the office" for the next 8 days and no doubt this debate will continue. Just a couple of points:- If you buy an enclosure plus various separate DIN rail mounted devices from a Wholesaler and you make a hash of the assembly, nobody would think the Wholesaler was the...

Hi Manator, I remember that job, but I hadn't seen a photo until now. Thanks for that. I have 4 of the empty boxes in stock, which I am happy to sell for say £10.00 + VAT each. Let me know if anyone is interested. Onoff -  The busbar pins showing are neutral pins, so insulation is not an...

Hi M107, Thanks for the plaudit and reading Onoff's link, it is clear that my product is reliable one. I did indicate that I would be "out of the office" from tomorrow on an earlier post, but didn't say what the cut-off date was. As you know, having spoken to you this morning, I have now...

Thanks Evans, It is a good example of the space-saving characteristics of the Compacts, even in my not-mega high board. Binky, I have sold around 6,000 Compacts in the last five years and had less than 50 faulty devices during that period. That is less than 1% failure rate and on every...

YOU COULD ALWAYS USE COMPACT RCBOS. SBS Dave

CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY ORDERS I HAD YESTERDAY.  ONE WEEK's ORDERS IN JUST ONE DAY. Probably because I am away 21st - 28th August 2016. Just to remind you that you can have MCBs with Compacts, this is one I have made up today "to my customer's specification". SBS Dave

DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO EDIT!! "Hi David. Finally got around to connecting up the consumer unit you made up for me. I haven't powered up as yet, but thought I would send you some pictures as feedback. I have used the stand off which worked well. Also nice to have plenty of...

Hi Tony I think most edumcated Forum Members knew about the role of smoke in electrical circuits and we were happy to keep it to ourselves. Unfortunately, LFG had to go and stick their bloody oar into it and declare "You can't have smoke without fire". We all know what that led to. SBS Dave

I SHALL BE OUT OF THE OFFICE FROM 11th JUNE UNTIL 18th JUNE 2016 I can process orders up until Friday 10th June  AM and can resume dealing with orders on Saturday 18th June. I will be contactable via e-mail and text on 0777 447 9287. SBS Dave

THERE HAVE BEEN MINIMAL PRICE INCREASES FOR MY PRODUCTS FOR SUMMER 2016 As a result of a 10% increase in prices from LiVE Electrical, I have had to increase my LiVE product prices accordingly. This means the AMD3 boxes are slightly more expensive, but still cheaper than most boxes on the...

Most installs have the tails coming in from the bottom and bent back into the Main Switch, so there is not much chance of them falling out. However, Reg 526.1 requires "every connection........ shall provide durable electrical continuity and adequate MECHANICAL STRENGTH and protection!" Table...

There is nothing in the Regs to stipulate HAVING hinges at all! The Regs often tell you what to achieve, without telling you how to achieve it. Since Fire Containment is a Safety Issue, the AMD3 box can be considered a "Safety Device". Safety Devices are usually designed to be "intrinsically...

I think the LIVE range of AMD3 boxes I sell, represent good value for money, but I am sure you all by now have decided which range of metal boxes you are going to run with. One new customer is a Wylex man and has some of their boxes in stock, but wanted to upgrade to the Compacts, for all the...

This DB shows most of the additional "bits" I offer, including Stand-Off Frame, insulated back knockouts, insulated spare live busbar pins and blanks filling the lid spare ways.  It just needs slots cut in appropriate places for the tails and circuits cables to come into the back knockouts. It...

"Hi David, As requested, some photos using the board  you made up for me. Installation went well, didn't need/use the standoff. If you are interested in constructive feedback, the centre screw holding the din rail is a bit of a nuisance as you have to remove busbar and breakers to lift out the...

THE TORQUE SCREWDRIVER / REC2S PRIZE DRAW. Due to various circumstances, I have carried out the draw today, with the aid of my 18 year granddaughter. The clock on the wall indicates that the names were drawn in the order indicated. The results were 1st Prize    CTE01 2nd Prize    PHS01 3rd...

TORQUE SCREWDRIVER PRIZE DRAW. It has been brought to my attention that my most loyal customers may not always look at my e-mails or the Forum, especially if the e-mail arrives as  “junk” and I don’t want them to miss out. So, I have added my top 20 customers to the list for the draw, without...
