[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 551852, member: 250"] I think one of the reasons is that most manufactures who supply any fully / partially equipped CU bundles, typically never include a 20A (or 25A) MCB.. (or any 10A either!?)... So 'Bob-The-Builder'... 'DIY-Derek'... 'Kevin-The-Kitchen-Fitter'... 'Larry-Loft-Converter'... 'Clive-Conservatory-fitter' etc... [Or for the PC amongst us... 'Barbara-The-Builder'... 'DIY-Debbie'... 'Katrina-The-Kitchen-Fitter'... 'Lucy-Loft-Converter'... 'Carol-Conservatory-fitter' etc... ] Who say they will "do the electrics" as they "know what to do".. Go to B&Q / Wickes / Homebase / Screwbits / Trollstation / etc ... And ALL they see are CU's with.. 6amps (for lights), 16amp (for the immersion heater if still have one), 32amps for the sockets/cooker, 40amp for the shower!! 20A, 25A, 10A.. simply do NOT exist in this world of electrical work... and if they saw one, they wouldn't have a clue what you use them for!!!! Full and partially equipped CU bundles, sold by DIY sheds, have created a huge quantity of very poorly designed electrical installations IMHO! [/QUOTE]
