[QUOTE="Blue Duck, post: 388341, member: 8071"] So in the event of a live to earth (or phase to cpc if your that way inclined) fault the lids of an AMD3 consumer supply unit (yes i said it) are made of metal how the fork are you supposed to isolate the supply? Yes I know what RCD's are for but it's not unknown for them to fail! same applies to if there's an internal fire it's gonna get hot and sparky how you gonna isolate the supply if you have to use a tool or key to open the CSU (not cooker supply unit). I think it would be better to have external isolators fitted and some kind of busbar connection for the tails in the CSU, something made with lugs and bolts like a traditional bus bar system? lastly has anyone found a good metal clip for holding cables in plastic trunking? I'm mearly Pondering and pontificating and looking for amusement while the baby sleeps on me! :) p.s sorry for the 5ww speak I never understood what was wrong with fuse box!!! headbang [/QUOTE]
