[Badger]

Not got around to naming them , yet!

but I think I have sufficient in stock for the foreseeable

at lest 4 layers deep...maybe more

scale the depth off the adjacent ( obviously redundant ) REC2s....they go to the back wall

I'll give you some names "Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb."

 

[Evans Electric]

REC 2  was fitted 4 weeks ago by my DNO  ....I think  the metal business only applies to C/U's . 

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

All the double pole 'Henlys' i see nowadays are branded RDL & all 10 holes are for 25mm cable.

Would you have any spare handles for the old Edgecombe Wind- up Meggers by any chance  ?  

Left handed or right handed? Bakelite mottled effect or the later plastic brown one ?

 

[kerching]

^ why are the REC units redundant

Cannot be used under AMD3 in same situations as plastic consumer units

DNO can use them as they are not covered by AMD3 7671 etc

mone are always pre fitted by DNO

Oh the  mottled Bakelite of course ...right handed   with the fold away hinge  please  .... would you have 50 of them  at a bulk price  ?

I only have the ones that work with the transparent insulated unsheathed flex with the uninsulated alligator clips twisted on the end

And how daft is that .......

Yep

i agree 100%

any job I go to ( and I do little domestic) there is always  one already fitted Call it spooky if you want  :innocent

same as cyclic loading.    DNO Can apply it but we can't

These were deviantly RDL 100 amp rated but the terminals were all the same size  you can easily get 16mm into them but never 25mm.
I got singles and fitted them instead terminal opening much wider and 25mm fitted with no problem

 

[Murdoch]

^^ I am going to disagree with you.

Easy too fit 25mm in those

 

[Phoenix]

Question to David: How have you been preparing the insulation on the tails before termination (not a trick question)

you are better than me then

 

[Murdoch]

you are better than me then

did you try the cable and the copper before you tried in the housing? The knockouts tend to allow the 16mm ones to go easily, whilst the 25mm need a bit more aggression...

I cut the two sheaths to expose the copper, then cut the outer sheath back another 10mm. thats the way l was taught in the 80's when l was an apprentice with the lecy board. Notice that a lot of modern practice does not take the outer sheath back.

That is odd

I still think you need to try the cable directly into the copper .....................................

I used one of these earlier this week .............. 1 pair of 25's and 1 pair of 16's - easy peasy

This isn't some kind of ebay "copy" you've bought is it?

Yep l did. The only way to get the copper in was to remove a couple of strands, and l wasn't going to do that. When l got hold of some single blocks they was no issue with the size. The blocks were bought from toolstation

I disagree. How is an isolator a "similar switchgear assembly" to a domestic distribution board?
