Found this photo in the loft yesterday. Taken in 1968, when I worked for Honeywell in Sheffield. I was 27 years old at the time. I was the Inside Sales Engineer and Flame Safeguard Specialist. That's me at the back, in pinstripes !! I had just built the "N" Plan Panel, shown, which was the...

Hi dave2 Glad you were happy with our products and service and thanks for your endorsement. Just to clarify, dave2 received 11 x RCBOs , a Main Switch and the busbars, already assembled and ready to fit into his EXISTING STRIPPED DOWN CONSUMER UNIT. That's why the install was so fast. If the...

1-module / 2-pole Compact RCBO

If I can find room for it on my crowded Price List, it will be an  ENC-8G.

Had a call from a customers just before lunch. Needs a small board by next Tuesday, but the space is very tight. He needs a 6-way board and as luck would have it, I had just the thing, in fact, 5 of them. They came in yesterday, thanks to OnOff mentioning them. They come without Main Switch...

Reading the Draft for Public Comment, 421.1.200 is a sub-section of 421.1.5 and as such, seems to apply only to "electrical equipment in a single location containing flammable liquid in significant quantity". Even if not, the requirement is for Switchgear assemblies including consumer units to...

Hi NozSpark The board shown is an 8-module / 6-way one and the smallest conventional one I do is 217mm w x 215mm h x 100mm d, which wouldn't fit. This one I supplied is 180mm w x 160mm h x 85mm d, so it solved a problem for him, especially on the height. If you know of an enclosure of approx...

ANOTHER SOLUTION TO A TIGHT-SPACE PROBLEM. Customer had to replace a Wylex 3036 board in a small cupboard, with no room for a conventional size board. This solution not only fitted, but a created more room for cabling. Just noticed the earth bars not shown. It was not fixed and could be...

ADMIN. Trying to upload photos, but it says "error, upload failed" Please advise.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I AM BACK FROM HOLS AND MY "COMPACT" STOCK ARRIVED ON SATURDAY. I know some of you have been waiting, so hopefully, we can resume business as usual. SBS Dave

GUESS WHAT, CANOEBOY, I'M ON HOLIDAY AGAIN !!! We are heading down to Kent, for our annual get-together with 4 friends. We pick a different destination every year and stay at an Allister Sawday (can't remember the spelling) recommended B & B. We will be gone from Monday 7th to Friday11th...

I DID TAKE ON BOARD YOUR EARLIER COMMENTS ABOUT THE WYLEX  REC2S SERVICE ISOLATOR SWITCH. So, I bought myself a few. Checking around prices again, they range from about £15.00 to £19.00 + VAT. The exception is RS Components, who have them at £10.10 + VAT, although they seem to be a different...

Got a Proforma Invoice from China yesterday and we transferred funds the same day. Now just waiting for confirmation of funds in the manufacturers bank and they will give me an approx. ship date. My best possible guess is that it will be mid-July. As done previously, I now list my remaining...

It is comforting to know that the big boys also run out of stock. Tried to quote Slipshod, but I clearly don't know how to do it. Any help would be welcome. SBS Dave

When I said up to my ankles, I meant it. Got most of these sorted today, but have a few more tomorrow. I'll then do a stock count and let you know what I have left.

LAST NIGHT, I WORKED UNTIL 10.00PM GETTING OUT ORDERS AND I AM STILL UP TO MY ANKLES IN ORDERS YET TO SHIP!!!. This is starting to get quite embarrassing, running out of stock, even though I have considerably upped my stock levels. Yesterday, I asked one TEF member to reduce his order, one...

Hi Sidewinder, I could do a 10-way or 12-way board with Compact RCBOs, that would probably fit in the available space, shown in the photo. If you go ahead with this job, let me know the max. height of a board, so that I can come up with some concrete suggestions. Hi Jono, I would be...

Got back from holiday on Friday and I hope everyone received their orders. My new Electricfix catalogue had arrived, with an offer for a BG 6-way 17th Edition board for £35.00 + VAT and a BG Garage Unit for £18.00 + VAT. Quite clearly there is price war on and I can't compete with the big boys...
