Question 1

As this had a plastic lid, isn't it non compliant with cirrent regulations?

Accepted Answer

Utterly unreal how this forum is being used for rather serious questions, which need, at the very least, an electrician or equivalent to answer.  All the answers are incorrect.  So here it is- re bs 7671: 421.1.201   Within domestic (household) premises, consumer units and similar switchgear assemblies shall comply with BS EN 61439-3 and shall: have their enclosure manufactured from non-combustible material, or
be enclosed in a cabinet or enclosure constructed of non-combustible material and complying with Regulation 132.12.

So there, please stop talking nonsense, on their own ALL plastic cu are non compliant to bs 7671 (Chinese regs are irellivant), UNLESS you place them in a 'non combustible' case after installation, a box within a box.

Question 2

I never got a wiring diagram, where can I get one please?

Accepted Answer

Without wishing to seem overly flippant you might want to consider putting the screwdrivers away and having a cup of tea instead. Electricity kills people, often due to fires caused by badly installed equipment and cabling. Add to this the preponderance of fake and sub-standard equipment entering the UK supply chain and it has never been more important to make sure that you use a competent tradesman who is a member of one of the recognised trade bodies (NICEIC, ECA etc).Seriously, don't mess about with electricity, it will kill you.

Question 3

How to wire

Accepted Answer

I wired mine and it would be difficult to explain without diagrams etc. I suggest you research it on U Tube I've looked it up and it is very comprehensive. Good luck.

Question 4

It says weatherproof, does that mean it can go on the outside of my shed?
