Someone's going to suffer buyer's remorse.

Spotted this on ebay, which has attracted many bids from its low starting price. Nice fully populated "Fusebox" board...

Same question

I was assuming was counterfeit based on posts

 

[Dustydazzler]

Or I imagine being listed as 'like new' but was old & taken out of a job and given a quick clean up.

Not familiar with fusebox but looked alright to me

I usually just await others superior knowledge

It looked to me like a fusebox board but with another make of breakers in it.

While it looked Fusebox-like, there were differences, some subtle, some not so.

Apart from the most obvious other 'brand' of RCBOs, next most obvious is the SPD is on the left (Fusebox is on the right of the main switch).

Then more subtle things like different front cover screw holes, different labelling of the N & E bars, etc.

The brand of RCBOs seems quite hard to source at least in the UK, so I was wondering where the seller had actually got it from. Perhaps instead they'd just posted the wrong photo of something they may or may not actually have for sale?

Update: as mentioned above, the link now shows a Fusebox unit but without the RCBOs. I've added an original photo here, if anyone still wants to see it.

Could have gotten their hands on a cheap loads of Fakes and trying to sell it on

Board now sold for £137, so link redirects to ebay reccomendation. Need to click 'see original listing' to view item sold.

It was a Fusebox board populated with some no name devices. Part numbers tell me they're made by C&J Group, whoever they might be...
