MK/Volex consumer units..?

Nov 25, 2004 2 Replies

If i buy an empty consumer unit,perhaps one with just a mains isolator,will it include the necessary cabling kit and buzzbar for the full load of MCB's which will eventually live in it or is this normally purchased as a separate item??,screwfix prices seem ok though there is an ebayer who shifts a load of them also..

Usually, yes. If you buy a standard main switch only versoin you won't be able to make it split load though, and vice-versa is also true unless extensive modifications to the CU are your thing.

What he supplies, I couldn't tell you. No garauntee that it will be complete.

MK ones come with the bus bar and neutral cables if you get one without RCD and extra cables for the RCD if you go for one with that.
