[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 560908, member: 250"] No consumer units were not always metal decades ago. It was in Jan 2016 that regulation 421.1.201 became effective requiring that CU's in domestic dwellings to be non-combustible, or mounted in a non-combustible enclosure. Why would you think plastic is a bad idea for enclosing electrical equipment/switch gear? Correctly designed installed and terminated connections are no more dangerous in plastic than they are in metal. Have a look at what your electricity meter is enclosed in? or your cut-out fuse? or all your socket outlets etc.. etc.. [/QUOTE]
