Top tip - if fitting the tail gland on the bottom of the board like that do yourself a favour and bin the rubber . They are far too tight so if you are struggling do without it you will achieve in excess of required IP2X. You really don’t need the ip68 that it provides with the rubber inserted !

Its so nice not having to deal with neutral tails with newer panels here in the US. With both the hot and neutral having plug in neutrals, so those are just wired into the breaker and plugged in, connection done. Heck Leviton has gone one step farther in that no wires go to the breakers anymore and they are simply inserted into the panel to complete the circuit. They can be fully wired during the rough in phase (1st fix) and then during final install (2nd fix) all that is done to activate the circuit is plug the breaker in which can be standard (MCB), AFCI, GFCI or combo AFCI/GFCI breakers. Makes the install clean and not having to deal with the breaker tails anymore.

Might seem a good idea but from experience you can’t fit a board fully or part populated and make a good or quick job out of it . As I’m sure Chris knows it’s best to strip the board bare , get your knockouts and cable management , grommets and glands in place, then get your final circuits, meter tails earth and bonds in, dress your cpc,s then put your din rail in, and in an all rcbo board install and terminate one device at a time. That’s what I do anyway !

Nice on the "please check screws after installing" because pretty much every time I go into a panel half the screws are loose, or just not tight, so half the flickering light issues vanish with that check. Yes to the spacers, nothing worse than looking at the panel, and wanting to put one more breaker in, and having to play breaker roulette to move them all one space over, and finding that one breaker that is wired with an exact length of wire, and it will not move, so you have to play leap frog over it. Or open the panel, and the council sparktrician has been in there, and decided that breakers are not needed, so fed the incoming mains in to the bottom of the RCD, and used the isolator instead to feed a circuit. Good thing there was the main 100A breaker right below it, with it's loose screws, and no cover either. Tightened them up as well, but the meter is just going to have to stay as is, there they actually used a seal.

This isn't a statement just towards you Chris and anyone feel free to chip in. I've been watching you and the other electrician 'stars' for some time now, so I have seen the progression and fads flow through the scene. By that I mean everyone starting to use things like wagos, ferrules and also flexi tails. Some do it right, some do it wrong. i.e. ferrules are meant for fine stranded cables, but some seem to think they are needed on things like 6mm and 10mm twin. Yes they are stranded conductors, but not FINE stranded. Anyway to the point...... Flexi Tails. Now I've never used flexi tails personally, but I can only imagine they are so flexible because they are fine stranded. Yet no-one is putting ferrules on them??? Surely they should be ferruled. Discuss Cheers for the content btw. Lve a bit of CJR, ok.
@Cjrelectrical
@Cjrelectrical 3 жыл бұрын
Your correct everyone man and his dog is even fitting them on 10mm solid stranded twin and earth. They are indeed only for fine stranded like on the rcbo fly leads. It also doesn’t say you can’t put them on other cables ie solid stranded does look neater. Flexi tails are still solid just more inner cores.

Most incomers etc have proper clamp terminals so the copper will generally form itself into a good fit compared to where wires go into busbars etc that rely on the screw tip which generally just pushes the wires to the sides. I have used crimps where flexi tails go into Henley type blocks that rely on screw tips rather than having proper clamps.

I took all the neutrals behind the tails clamp and zippy tie them to the neutral going from the bottom of the main switch to the neutral busbar looks exceptionally neat

Is it really worthwhile buying the "pack" of meter tails, rather than buying three reels and cutting as required?

A drum of meter tails is very heavy to carry around, I’ve always bought it in 10 meter cuts but I can see why people buy a new small pack for each job

(Non-electrician) is it standard practice to recommend customers purchase a spare mcb/rcbo or 2? Just thinking if adding a new circuit years down the line, how easy would it be to get hold of mcb/RCBO's?

I wouldn't fit anything into the board until all the holes were drilled , cables glanded etc and it was on the wall . Any dust or metal swarf could get into the rcbo's or the switch . Also if you have slack on the twin cables I would put the heaviest circuits next to the switch. That's just my preference

Yeah I agree only saving grace there’s no holes to drill in metal only knock the pre pressed holes out and for brick dust I can mark and remove before drilling.

Helps with heat and also gives the next guy a chance to put his rcbo in without having to shuffle things around. As my personal preference is to have the highest loads nearer the main switch.
