So, fitting a 3ph DB on my little project

there is a yellow sticker in the board

there is a little plastic bag with the keys, Allen keys, instruction sheet etc

its a pity they cannot agree with each other!

WTAF! Do I just guess?

also, question for Father and eldest child only....What make of board is this?

Whilst I’d like to join in, I’m struggling to fill in the blanks?

I don't know the rest but I am going to guess Proteus board?

Whatever, I sense it was supplied by A N Other and not one you would choose.

Whoops....no picture, my bad!

:slap

this must be made in different parts of the world and brought together for assembly!!
clearly Quality Control doesn’t exist.

Board made in KSA.....kingdom of Saudi Arabia, MCBs in China!

board is a Contactum!.....I am only using it as it is the same as the ones feeding his other 4 units installed by site contractors

id never choose another...it's on a par with Lewden CGD. @Evans Electricwill feel my pain

I have both....in fact I have about 6 torque drivers due to the ".back,in the day" job of servicing Diving Equipment

its a pity Contactum cannot decide on the current torque settings

certainly won't be buying another

I quite like the look of Contactum, and it seems ok as gear goes, but I've never seen their 3 phase stuff.
