Good job, i love how this guy works. Im electrician in Spain, and theres difference too. Here the mininium are 5 breakers with one rca and one breaker for all. Lights, switch, innduction panel, switchs in wets areas and 1 for washing, termo and dish washer, if you want more things you need to put more breaker. Its interesting. I use schneider almost ever (less 10€ each) and rca 20€... Plastic box in homes... (Sorry for my english guys)
really interesting to se electrical work in the UK. I am working in sweden as a 10 year electrician. some things are the same and alot is different. Do you guys ever use plastic tubes in the walls to pull cables in? we use them always.

My first choice fuse boards in order. 1. Joint Hager & Wylex for both domestic and light commercial. 2. Contactum - Domestic use only. I don't use any other fuse board.
I do industrial electric in America. I’ve wanted to move to Europe for some time because of my success but u don’t know how different the industry is over there
Couldn't see if there was any spare ways in there, always handy, did you fit an SPD and does it take up two ways in the board. Was the SPD inc in the price. Fusebox all have SPD inc in the price.
Can you tell me what is better about say a fusebox,Hager or verso compared to a crabtree, mk, BGor Schneider of the same spec. What do you get extra for your money?
I can get fusebox 12 way with spd for £68 inc VAT Hager 12 way is way more because their SPD is way more expensive but fits in a board much better in my opinion and doesnt need an mcb, but is £122. Hager RCBO £18 inc VAT per RCBO, fusebox RCBO £16 inc VAT.. It surprising when you shop around, I tend to use Hager but they have been really slow bringing out the double pole RCBO which I was told middle of last year was coming and will likely be the new standard.. Fusebox made a storm because they are clearly much cheaper, Hager has had to bring down their prices although prices to vary massively more between wholesalers so you need to shop around.. The Verso looks ok but I think I would go Hager then fusebox over Verso simply because we have seen it in the past companies pop up make a consumer unit then disappear and you cant get spares.. Fusebox has made it very difficult for anyone to be cheaper than them, Verso gets pretty close and not a measurable difference in price but would still go fusebox for now, shame Verso couldnt have done a Hager type SPD or something to set themselves apart.
Hi Steve, We’ve actually been here for ten years and consistently reinvested into better R&D and increased testing and certification for each product. Individually tested as well as install features and an increased grading of steel on the board as well. There are a lot of subtle features you’ll find on install as well 👍🏽
@@navitascp Fair enough, not heard of you till recently, probably need to work on getting into more wholesalers as seems to be very limited availability...
As you can imagine wholesalers stock based on what contractors like yourself ask for. So it becomes a bit of cycle. We’re taking on new stockists weekly so hopefully will come to a shelf near you ASAP. Do you have a board change coming up?
@@navitascp I’ve wanted to give verso a try I’ve probs done 50 fusebox boards in the last couple of years , but can’t seem to get hold of the compact verso RCBOs- lamplec is my main supplier of the (fusebox) boards but still have no stock, neither do other online outlets if you can advise a supplier then love to try out your product
I fit loads of consumer units, eaton is my personal favourite. But I do like lewden for the price, especially as they have mini single pole and switched neutral rcbos.
Watch this from the states, I’m amazed how small a panel you can use, hire few circuits you have, and how little it costs. Here we need to break things down into 3x as many individual circuits and each circuit needs to have its own individual RCD/AFD/breaker. It be $2,000 to replace a panel with all the needed breakers here!
12:14 - really ? 2 ground cables to one position ? many position on left is free... in the czech rep. this is no allowed, one cable = one position / screw. fuse for switchboard 100A? this is crazy ? you don't know 3 phases there? 🙃
All Brands Of RCBO’s Consummer units doing the sane job i doesn’t matter which brand you go unless if no to much space there like i’ve installed one last week bought 165£ from CEF 10 ways but Rubbish i made a mistake on that one becuse was really tiny space to work on that one MCG name don’t buy one of those MCG one’s really very tiny space with those RCBO’s are for 3 Phase Pannel one’s they have Fitted on Single phase C/U

If you already checked and tested the circuits and all is good, what is the reason for changing a perfectly good CU ? There is no signs of damage overheating exposed live parts . So why change it. Read page 99 in the onsite guide if you have one .
Expensive fuse board. I cant work out why you even had to change the Fuseboard ? Why have 2 main Earth's at the Fuse board? Small 4 way Earth bar near i incoming supply. 1 - incoming Earth 2 - 16mm Earth to Fuseboard 3 - 10mm Earth for Water 4 - 10mm Earth Gas ( if there is a Gas pipe ) Seems an over kill with the RCBO's. Looking at £300 for parts + labour . £600 The client didn't have to waste their money on . Be nice to know what excuses you give the client to Rob them of £600 ???? 😂😂😂😂😂

I fitted one last year and it is a good solid board ... I'm sure it will be improved and upgraded in later editions
Great video Ryan and thanks for using Verso on this install! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Good boards, I've fitted a few. My only criticism for me is the lock hole blank in the front center of the lid gets in the way of labeling.
Thanks Chris.
We are working on a new labelling sheet so hopefully that may help for the labelling
Cheers guys, no problem at all
4:47 It's good you record these bits so you can show the triage nurse at A&E exactly how you got the screwdriver stuck 🤣🤣🤣
In my country(The Netherlands) we already could by these RCBOS 1,5 years ago from SEP!!They were the first!And they are even smaller..
Good video mate love the tipp❤
Love Verso boards and thier sockets and switches.
Quality stuff mate
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks Brother

@@RDavisElectrical Are you interested in collaboration buddy?
Interesting that the SPD is fitted furthest from the main switch, I was pulled on this by NICEIC assessment.
It’s fed by the MCB next to it, shouldn’t matter
Can you provide a link to where you got the verso board and the compact RCBOs with single pole and Switched neutral? 1p+N
How much roughly for an installation these days
Too much advertising for my liking

3 spare ways, yes SPD comes as standard in the price and heat it takes up 2 ways
We was here bro ❤
I've been a spark for over 30 years & still have the old rewireable wylex fusebox at home 😯
Stay humble ✌

Can you tell me what is better about say a fusebox,Hager or verso compared to a crabtree, mk, BGor Schneider of the same spec. What do you get extra for your money?
I'm fairly confident that schneider will be more money for equivalent board
At my first employer there was a guy employed to put the bubble in the bubbles.

How do u get the labels to do the exact width.
This printer is connected to an app, I can adjust it all in there
Verso board are very sturdy. I even get it at better prices than what you quoted. £11 for Rcbo and £35 for the box. Check………
Fair play 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi mate , thinking of getting a new CU ..
which brands are the best ...
Thank you
Great vids .
Love yr shorts-vids on YT .
I’d say this one ticks all the boxes mate 👍🏻
I would get some Siemens or Eaton breakers RCD too tbh
fusebox RCBO board with SPD mate best boards on the market imo.
