    Schneider easy9+ consumer unit

    I see 6x 20mm 2x 32mm at the top and at the bottom. the same as MK, Wylex. it runes the entire width of the board. the option is there to cut inbetween to make a slot. The rear entry is 4x slots (each slot looks like 2x32mm holes sloted to make 1). It even has an incomming cable clamp for the...

    Schneider easy9+ consumer unit

    Is this not a latest model? I like the way the cover can be decorated so it can blend in. It looks big, and i think bigger is better,  the graphic shoes an RCBO installed with room on top. It also looks like there is room for cables to enter below the busbar unlike most single phase consumer...

    Schneider easy9+ consumer unit

    Just got an email from Schneider about these, and i am very impressed. It actually looks like some thought has gone into the design. I am realy impressed, i would like to install one. And the door opens downwards :innocent https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Fat8Wr3XlU?feature=oembed

    Type tested consumer units .

    perhaps the consumer unit you bought was missing the paperwork that said you can only use eaton, so you assumed the Wylex one on the van would be ok and fitted that and then went home.

    If you get Ze by inquiry then you have to measure Zs. If you measure Ze then you can calculate Zs. GN3

    I beleive the scam is, when you sign the promisary note to say you will pay back the bank £100K that note is is then put into there system and treated as cash. Those notes are all bundled up and then sold on as equities. The banks also have insurance that you wont pay back the debt, and it is...

    dodgy eicr

    I know a few time served JIB electricians who always work for large companies and on big sites who always just do a Zs as this guy has done when doing an EICR.   Zs, Insulation, RCD times, Ze, PFC, is all i usually see from others. I often find the JIB site electricians who work for large firms...

    In loft contactor for shower

    What LeeSparkyKent said ^ . I thought all this old b0770X about having to blindly follow manufacturers instrucions exactly had been taken too far before and AM3 has tried to clarify that we should actually use our own brain not follow lame instructions which are usually quite poor. I...

    Smart meter's do reduce costs

    You are of course correct Dave, the SMART meter has not actualy saved my customer or anyone else any money at all, nor is there much too smart about a SMART meter. Except tricking the public into thinking it can save them any money. My same customer had one installed at his last premises, which...
