Yes.
Henley block.
Just make sure they're fire proof.
Oh wait, they're not switchgear so you don't need to bother. It's only switchgear which have poor connections and spontaneously combust all the time. Junction boxes are immune, because LFB say so.

Heh, yes.. I hope I'm not still building when Amendment 4 is issued, banning plasterboard pattress boxes and mandating galv..
LFB have a nice website you know, that has fire stats on. 21500 fires a year*, and the statistical rise that caused the concern that led to Amendment 3?
150 fires
Woo
*some of these are outdoor or vehicle

Or if you can distribute the loads suitably, you could use an MCB in the first unit as a sub-feed to the second unit. That might even save on cable runs for branch circuits if it means you can locate the second unit at some other location nearer to the loads it serves.

you can also get tap offs that fit the board, they look like mcbs but are straight through connecters that take 25mm cable, using one of them would keep the main switch for "one single point of isolation"
Rocky, can you post a link for those tap-offs please? I may have a need for one.. Thanks!
I know the MG equivalent used to be MGTB1252 for the two pole version. I couldn't find the BG equivalent in their catalogue though
Thanks, Iggifer. any maker will do for my application. That's very helpful… TTC
You're welcome. It's probably not a current part number but it's a starting point.

Can't you use a B63amp MCB instead?
