They are spot on, hopefully there last the distance on reliability. Short RCBOs are double pole, good on price and the lid goes straight on what more could you want.
My rep at electric Centre told me that they won't stock these as Fusebox don't provide a certification for tripping rates/ times, not sure how true this is. I've installed these myself and although a nice board to install I have actually had an RCD and several RCBO's fail on 30 & 150mA testing. On their earlier models CP fusebox did not provide OCPD for the SPD, solely relied on the main cut out. Must admit that I prefer Hager boards, but if on a budget I now fall back on Contactum or Lewden. Be interested to see how your RCBO'S test out.
I’ve fitted about 7 of these RCBO Boards now with SPD and Type A RCBOS and all have been fine. I know what you mean about the SPD Jot being protected by an MCB but the Hager boards are the same. I usually fit Hager but for an RCBO with SPD Fusebox wins, as I say I’ve not personally had an issues with the trip times but that’s not to say they don’t happen of course as you yourself have had issues I’ve just a different experience. The legends they give you are wank but I use a brother printer anyway. Contactum and Lewden are decent boards probably don’t get enough credit to be fair. Contactum is the easiest cover to put on by far! Can do it one handed but they are heavy!
@@JayTheSparky I believe the Hager SPDs have in-built over protection. Fusebox now provide OCPD for their SPDs. Your right about Contactum covers fitting well but Hager are also well constructed and the covers always fit with no struggle which is probably one of the reasons why they are the go to board for most electricians if cost is not an issue.
@@davidb3537 Ah I see, sorry I didn’t realise they had it built in that makes sense. Yes Contactum are good boards as are Hager as you say it’s well made and so easy to use probably why it’s the go to board as you say you know what you are getting with them
Fusebox also do the busbar mounted blanks they're worth a buy as if you take the cover off the board with the metal ones in (and the power on) and one of them happens to drop on something live you can have an almighty bang
Brilliant video, just subscribed to your channel. I've started on my own back in Feb just b4 covid 😡 Your videos give me inspiration that I can still make this work
You can prevent your lights strobing on video if you set your camera to record 25 fps or 50 fps as it aligns it with the lights 50 hz supply, hope this helps bud keep em coming
Good job nice and tidy. The box looks roomy and easy to work.👍

I like the idea of the trunking coming down and then coming in the back of the db mate 👍
You can get the din rail mounted blanks for the FuseBox boards now. Not sure if they've been available for ages but only seen them recently.
Yes I saw them mate just thought I would try the metal ones see how much they have improved from the nasty plastic ones 👍
I’ve installed these boards as well and they are nice to work with, great video 👍🏼
Thanks for your support 👍

Yes I will be testing out today all being well. Overall I am impressed with these so far 🤙

Are they Type A , B curve RCBO'S?

Thanks for the sub mate. Just stay focused on what you want to achieve do a good job and look after your customers and you will be fine 💪💪💪💪
Quality install 👌
How did you connect earth wires before peeling
How is it fire rated when there is big holes knocked out the back?
Fusebox do solid blank modules

Nice one good and neat David Savery has a 10% discount code for Consumer Unit World.I like these boards. Good videos DIN mounted blanks look better
Yes I watch his channel mate and he is really funny and all jokes aside he is a very good spark 👍
Did you just mount the board on timber that’s screwed into the wall?
Thanks for the video! Liked, and subscribed :)
A massive thank you 👍👍
no Ferrels on the cables ?
A fuse board is a fuse board they all do the same thing
🤟
Wouldn’t cable tie the neutral fly leads, what about grouping factors aha they need to be free in air
I bet your work looks shit
Bugger all will happen with having a couple ties on there

@@smallnstickypaper it will make the big voltage drops higher? II we called grouping multiple cables together- ie touching
