Impressive job.

The only thing that i can see worth mentioning is to get ferrule crimps in those fine multi stranded neutrals going into the neutral bars....

Just as a point of interest the last Wylex board I fitted had neutrals like this; but they appear to be 'glued' for want of a better word; the ends are somehow fixed into a rigid pre-formed rectangular profile so they form their own profile, not sure how it's done but would welcome someone enlightening me.

I think it is the same with most of domestic CUs, hager, proteus is the same. They come from the factory that way, even if you take them out, they are not getting lose.

No idea i've only seen factory fitted crimped type ends. So what do you do when you cut these neutral tails to size, to suit the CU install?? If nothing else at least fitting an insulated ferrule crimp connector will do away with seeing bare conductor entering the neutral bus bars!!

Not very pleasing on the eye and a bit lacking insulation wise but that's the way they come from the manufacturer. The strands are fused ... soldered in some way to make a solid.
They come in position, in made up lengths, to suit the whichever unit you buy, flexibility being the important point.

The line connectors on the 7th breaker from the left are a different shade of brown. Looks a right mess. Daz

If we're being brutal, what's with the Neutral cable crossing the rhs Lines?

....and some of the right hand browns leaning slightly from vertical.

Rough!

"The line connectors........."

You mean conductors right ?

Well if you're going to be pedantic it's best to be accurate otherwise someone might come along and tear you a new --- for your own errors.

[Darkwood]

Nice neat and well presented y only comment if any is you have no room for expansion which should be factored into any design.

Don’t you mean insulation Biff? The conductors will all be this funny copper colour. Touché.

Nice and neat my OCD approves , though the 10amp on circuit 10 before the 16amp breakers would drive me nuts lol did you run out of breakers or was the load less than you thought, it looks like a 6mm going into it or it's my eyes .

 

[uksparks]

Looks very good, I have never managed to get a board looking like that, just never happens. As much as I try, there's no way it's going to happen. I think it makes a huge difference to how neat it is depending on if the cables enter from the top, middle or bottom. I tend to use MK boards and neR from the top, so never have much free space.

Nice job - looks the bollox:yesnod:

Which ferrules do you mean?
Bootlace type ones or crimps?
