WISHING YOU A BELATED CHRISTMAS AND AN EARLY NEW YEAR!! Only a few days to D-Day, or should I say AM-D-Day, when all Domestic jobs will, realistically, require non-combustible CUs. Attached, therefore is my new 2016 Price List, with virtually NO PRICE INCREASES on the my main products and only...

Another box, custom-built for a customer. He wanted a L/H Main Switch and my 3-gland tails arrangement. Also wanted an MCB to feed the garage via an SWA. All he had to do was take it out of the box and mount it on the wall. SBS Dave

IS THIS MIX AND MATCH??   -   IT CERTAINLY IS!! DOES IT COMPLY WITH BSEN61439-3??  -  IT CERTAINLY DOES!! In fact, paraphrasing 10.10.3.5 of the Standard, under "Device Substitution", it says you can mix devices provided what you have mixed, matches, in key areas. When BEAMA coined the Mix...

The attached extract from BSEN61439-1, is also embodied in BSEN61439-3. it allows for device substitution, provided certain characteristics of the substitute device are considered. The first consideration is power loss and resultant temperature changes. Compliance with 60898 for MCBs, 61009...

What more evidence do you need?? It's even dated !! SBS Dave

Further to Phoenix's question about MCBs and Compact RCBOs on the same DIN rail, the attached photos shows MCBs next to the Main Switch, in the middle of the run and at the end. This configuration requires my modification of the busbars, but you still don't need a neutral link to the neutral...

Hi Rob, I have looked into the metal box solution, but the combined price of the metal enclosure and the plastic CU would be higher than a metal CU. I don't think my range of metal boxes are ugly, but that is a matter of personal opinion. Schneider have just launched their new range of metal...

Hi Phoenix, There are quite a few on the market, but do not seem to be compatible with my Compact(or any other for that matter). They are designed for LIVE at the top, the usual way in Australia, but I have established that the one above can also work with LIVE at the bottom. It took me ages...

OCTOBER WAS A FUNNY MONTH The number of populated boxes I sold in October was  60% LESS  than normal, which could have been really bad news for my business. But, with plastic 17th Edition Boards being offered at knockdown prices, I expected some reduction, anyway. However, during the same...

Mini-trunking stand-off examples as mentioned earlier. SBS Dave

I MIGHT AS WELL PLUG MY RANGE OF ALL-METAL BOXES

Lurch, I read every word you wrote. That is why I said THE inference and not YOUR inference. I know you didn't say the CG was crap. Given the title of this Thread, I do not want my product linked to any other, by association. I am sure you will understand my concern. SBS Dave

Hi Lurch, The lone MCB you refer to is not my "stuff", but a TDline product. That MCB is a generic DZ47 series one, used by at least 6 Companies in the UK and probably 100s around the world. The original design is licenced to individual Factories, who own-label it for their clients. My...

Hi Lurch, When I click on your link, it goes to #358 on my SBS Trade Sales page and shows a double-decker RCBO board. Which RCBOs and MCBs are you referring to? SBS Dave

Essex, Sorry, I don't follow.

Hi Steps, As you know, I sell really good quality products at really good prices, so I DON'T NEED TO KNOCK THE COMPETITION!!  :innocent   :slap   SBS Dave

Sorry Mouk, I only sell those products as listed in my Price List. In any event, you have obviously decided on the Crabtree range, which is an excellent product. SBS Dave

Hi Murdoch, In my post #91, I believe I answered your post #5 indirect question with regard to whom I supply. In case that wasn't clear, it means I would sell to Mouk's electrician. SBS Dave

Hi Mouk / ProDave You can also get them cheaper if you if you buy from me, added to which I am a Forum Sponsor. To be specific, for a DB over £100.00 (which it would be) then the price of my Standard RCBO 10KA ssc is £9.00 + VAT My 14-mod / 12-way metal box is £30.00 + VAT. SBS Dave

The previous free box offer was taken up by a long standing non-Forum NAPIT customer, who liked the 3-gland idea. The attached photos are of another sample board I was evaluating and I am offering this one FREE OF CHARGE (when supplied as a complete DB, with RCBOs of your choice) It is a...
