[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 406806, member: 6967"] Remove cover and MCB's all move because it is one of those cheap crap boards with a half DIN thingy and crappy breaker clips. Main switch is also on the slant so you have zero chance of just tightening up the main terminals now and getting the cover back on without disturbing basically everything in the entire CU. This is exactly why the meter fitters do not touch the CU, most of them wouldn't have a clue what to do. The answer is demarcation, REC2 should be standard, fitting them should be a no cost option, for safety. These new meters with the inbuilt isolator sound like a good idea but they are no good as the tails are disturbed if/when the meter is changed. [/QUOTE]
