The WME14 is a 14-way IP40-rated metal enclosure designed to house MCBs, RCBOs, and other DIN-rail–mounted circuit protection devices. It provides the strength, accessibility, and compliance needed for larger indoor distribution builds across residential and light commercial environments. The powder-coated steel body ensures long-term durability and a clean finish suitable for visible installations.
Installer Tip: When fitting multiple RCBOs, leave sufficient neutral tail length to prevent strain on terminals during future maintenance — a key point under BS 7671 Regulation 526.6.

Is the WME14 supplied with devices or wiring?
