Plastic consumer units/enclosures etc

whjohnson
I have a job where a small former outside toilet is being converted into a hobby pottery complete with water supply and small kiln.

I propose to fit a small plastic consumer unit with the appropriate IP rating for protection against ingress of water.

This will be a home brew job with a generic enclosure and a RCD main switch and mcbs from my spares stock.

I have seen many metal enclosures rusting quietly away in detached garages/w/shops/outbuildings and thought they would be better served by using plastic.


I think there is still a case to be made for fitting plastic consumer unit enclosures in outbuildings in order to prevent deteriation caused by external influences. Moist atmosphere, unheated spaces and the like.


Any other like-minded souls out there?

Comments welcome.

    On the "purple" theme - I don't like the new logo (the one the browser puts on the tab or window title) - it seems to be black (and a bit of purple) on transparent - which looks OK on when the tab is active (and the tab label has a white background) but on an inactive tab (at least on Firefox) when the background goes black it's almost invisible - making it tricky to find the IET tab again... The old one at least had a white square around the IET bit so you could see it whatever the background.
