Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good product This is a fine product and is perfect for those tight spaces. I would recomend this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bullet proof You get exactly what you see. Loads of room in a well made consumer unit. Old school yes but bullet proof. Perfect for a garage etc where the incoming supply is via RCD/RCBOs which of course it must be!!!! Unless for some reason you want to double up on Earth leakage protection these are fine. Sorry I don't trust some other brands MCBs etc so stick with Wylex knowing I'm not going back to the job for silly trip faults.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Solid unit but not for all Small CUs are often used to house DIN-mounted controls e.g. heating contactors, etc. This one is unfit for that, as Wylex not only cropped DIN rail just to fit main switch (hence impossible to attach anything without attaching to busbar, already binned), they also drilled holes for their rail in unconventional position, which makes replacement of DIN rail a real pain. If you need this unit for a garage and want to fit RCBOs - perfect, but it not designed for anything else.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not designed to take Wylex RCB Disclaimer - I did read the other review which stated that Wylex RCBOs don't fit very well. I needed a secondary consumer unit with a couple of double pole RCBOs and room to add another later. Being an ingenious sort of chap who's up for a challenge, I figured there had to be a sensible workaround, so I bought this unit anyway. The busbar is an odd design which connects using the screw terminals at the front of the 100A isolator, not the rear clamping terminal as is customary on most other consumer units. No worries, I thought - a BG busbar will do the trick on the rear terminals. Er, no. You see the DIN rail isn't really a DIN rail. It's only half a DIN rail. The isolator clips onto the top of the half DIN rail and the bottom is held by (have you guessed it?) the busbar which has a retaining clip to anchor its left hand side in the enclosure. If you swap the busbar out, the isolator and RCBOs aren't secure. If you were REALLY creative and had a length of DIN rail to hand, you could remove the half DIN rail, cut a full DIN rail to size, drill and fit it, then fit Wylex RCBOs using a standard (e.g. BG) busbar. So there is a workaround, though I'm not sure Wylex would approve......

Compatible MCB and RCBO

Hi Are the Wylex NHX MCBs and NHXS RCBOs compatible with this Wylex CU (SFNM506)? I have read that there are different types of Busbars that can cause compatibility issues. Thanks Ian
Asked by: LazyBoy2
Hello. Yes SFNM506 was originally supplied with a balcony busbar, the NHX / NHXS devices fit all busbar designs including this balcony busbar style. Thank you for your interest in our Wylex brand.
