Is Dorman Smith switchgears still popular ? All the recent ones I have come across are Schneider or Eaton Memshields.

We were a Dorman Smith site from the 80s, black dollies, series 15 boards, then the new loadmaster and loadlimiter.

Prior to that, it was Red Spot, English Electric MEM and Dennis

Then, one day, someone fitted a Merlin Gerin board and it was like looking into the future, that was about 18 years ago and we stuck with it

I imagine Dorman Smith has updated, but some of the boards we have, in order to add a breaker, you have to slacken the busbar screws - that's just bizarre. Another that springs to mind has unshrouded busbar lugs and virtually no space for cable management, its fine on a new install, but in an industrial setting, things get altered all the time.

We did have a little foray into Crabtree C50 boards, they just look frightening now
