[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 439420, member: 9512"] The issue that exists is that this problem has been recognised by the "powers that be", and formal guidance published in the way of a British Standard explaining what needs to be done to comply with the safety requirements of the enclosure.assembly after the alternative parts have been fitted. This is detailed in: BS 6423:2014, Code of practice for maintenance of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. (£190.00 / 44 pgs) The BS EN 61439 series of standards are heavily referenced within this standard, and, the requirements of this series are the prime requirement. So, if you are substituting without considering the requirements of this standard and being able to justify this, then, if, something goes wrong, questions would be asked as to why the standard was not followed, and to justify how you can prove that your solution is just as safe. Which is going to be difficult by this time, as there is already an issue with your solution, and, you had not followed the accepted published industry guidance on the process. [/QUOTE]
