Just got my MK sentry consumer unit today. The instructions were not very helpful and i've read them over and over. I've got a few pics as can be seen below for clarification. 100A main switch RCD 80A 30mA, 12 breakers 5x 6mcbs, 2x 16mcbs and 5x 32mcbs.
Question 1) Although i've only got 12 MCB's from the pic it states 16 holes so i take it it's got 16 useable ways so that if i needed i could add extra MCB's.
Question 2) If you look at top right of the earth bar you will see the number 16 and then 3 extra holes 1 has the earth mark and the other 2 state underneath the word Bond. Would you use the 2 holes for the bond or just the 1?
Question 3) Is the buzz bar in the correct place and what is a buzz bar for?
Question 4) you will see that where my finger is pointed there is a hole on the top of the breaker does this take the live and the hole on the bottom takes the other live if on a ring circuit or do both wires if on a ring go into the same hole. If it were on a radial then you wouldn't have an incoming live back into the breaker.
I do have the front cover etc and it is really nice. I guess this is another part in the learning but i will get a sparky to come and fit this in when we are ready.
Thanks for your time if you have read it or responded insome way.
