[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 467328, member: 1408"] I think , as we've said before , a few basics seem to be lacking these days . A couple of basic things with consumer units . ( For newbies to the trade ) Fix to a flat surface or they'll distort and you struggle to get the cover on . Double check those [I]"hard a iron[/I]" meter tails in the box terminals after bending & twisting them. Count off the bus bar terminal screws to be tightened & make sure all the [I]"fingers[/I]" are in the boxes. Make sure you tighten up ALL the terminals with a (+) (-) screwdriver . As said above ....give 'em a tug when finished specially 2.5 solid cores . And a personal idiosyncrasy ..... some boards have bare bus bars ...insulate them with some tape . [/QUOTE]
