Yes! Will be using 6 anchors per cabinet. I have conlock tray going on the wall so hopefully that will keep it in the right placeWill the cabinets be bolted to the wall as well?, may be worth putting tray in the bottom of your frame to keep the cables tidy.
I used to hate making off anything over 25mm² never seemed to go where I wanted it
I will be, i have had a large server rack nearly topple since some idiot put the heavy equipment at the topDefinitely add some kind of wall fixing. One of our contractors had a rather tragic accident pulling a cable from an insecure cabinet which then fell.
Yes considered it but honestly wanted to give my self a project at my new houseHave you considered using 41mm x 41mm galvanised unistrut and fixings for this project?
you must live in a serious house ,,, ive seen hotels and theaters with lighter distro than that.Yes considered it but honestly wanted to give my self a project at my new house
The cabinets have no bottom, just the 30mm rim where they sitWhy gland on to the metal sheet, can you not just gland into the bottom of the box!
Larger than the average uk house but not huge. Doing a full renovation and needed something larger than the standard three phase units. These are larger than i planned but for the price could not say noyou must live in a serious house ,,, ive seen hotels and theaters with lighter distro than that.
Fortunately it only needs three and it came with them thank god. Depending on brand you might be able to fir the newer ones, mine can be swapped without with upgraded schnider oneshave you checked the mccb prices?
I bought and fitted a really nice 400amp 3 phase consumer unit I bought at t a good price... had an electrician wire it in....
I need a bunch more 125amp MCCBs but they're discontinued, everywhere I look people want £500 for them :-o

If its anchored to the wall, does it actually need a support frame capable of tonnes of support under it? Make up some blanking plates for the bottom of the cabinets . . . done.Yes!

Houses have 3 phase ?
And here the other members have been telling me that electrical panels in houses here in the USofA
are too "industrial".
Not commonly but new builds are now being installed with 3 phase as part of the expected requirements with a couple of EV’s on the drive and heat pumps for heating the home.Houses have 3 phase ?

Just planning my first welding project and wouldn't mind some advice. Needing to make a stand for two distribution boards as they are bottom entry, they weigh approximately 300kg each empty so expecting the whole unit will need to hold about 800kg with cabling and switches. Will 40mm 2.5mm wall square tubing be enough to hold the weight? I have put supports where the cabinets sit to stop bowing. Regarding the joints I was thinking of making both end sections first with 45-degree mitres, then welding the longer top and bottom sections onto the side of the frame with 100mm 5mm thick steel gussets for added support
Frame width 3000mm, depth 300mm, height 450mm
Also fitting some 3mm plate steel over the top, should I just tack weld it underneath onto the square tube or use some steel angle and weld that onto the square tube and the plate
Thanks! View attachment 415121View attachment 415122View attachment 415124
