Hi,

I'm trying to size a distribution panel and the suppliers i have been talking to have been interchanging between "ways" and "circuits" when detailing how many breakers i can install. Can you guys clarify what is the difference?

Modern CU

A typical new domestic CU used as a main panel may have from 6 to 24 ways for devices (some of which may occupy two ways), and will be split into two or more sections (e.g. a non-RCD section for alarms etc., an RCD-protected section for socket outlets, and an RCD-protected section for lighting and other built-in appliances). Secondary CUs used for outbuildings usually have 1 to 4 ways plus an RCD.
