Wylex dual tarrif CU availabilty.

mapj1
As I do not really do much domestic nowadays, I am after a bit of a steer from those that do.

I need to organise a neat arrangement in a flat with not much wall space and economy 7  (and 2 supply sub mains  in T and E that look like they have been pulled in by a crocodile using its teeth but that is something else. I feel can some hefty SWA and an adaptable box where the flat meets the common area coming on.)


Wylex claim to do a dual tariff consumer unit, that looks in the pix very like their current single phase one but with two main switches.

Given the dual supply option seems rare as hen's teeth, and the single phase and dual RCD ones are ex stock in every distributer nearby - has anyone fitted one ?,

and if so, is it the same internals , or is there more to it?

I am happy to buy a spare bus bar and an additional main switch (it will be 100% DP RCBO), but do not wish to be suddenly snookered for the want of an additional neutral block or something equally basic.

Also, has anyone ever sunk one into the masonary ?

    Wylex do make a 4-pole main switch, which can be supplied in a REC4 enclosure in order to provide lightweight TPN isolation. I assume that one would fit in the enclosure of a SP CU.



    I was sort of hoping that the twin-DP device would act more like two DP ones glued together rather than a TPN one - i.e. have two N contacts that should close first and open last (compared to the L contacts). I'm not sure whether that's actually the case though - after all it is less critical on single phase systems.
