[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 401283, member: 6969"] To answer the question we need to understand it. I don't understand what you mean by "mounting board" Are you talking about the bit of wood to fix the distribution board to? Anyway, you are asking a completely irelevant question. It will terminate into a 3 phase distribution board. 99% of 3 phase boards are metal, so there will be no problem terminating a SWA cable directly into them. Virtually all of them will be rated for 125A or more, I doubt you will find one rated at less than 100A. So it's not as though you can buy a "small" one. So it boils down to how many circuits you expect to have as to what size board you have. The cable will be protected at it's origin by a suitable mcb for the size of cable. What is it you actually want to know? [/QUOTE]
