It is a 12V pre fused distribution box with a single input from a battery with four outputs to control pumps solenoids ect.
There is no prices yet as this is the 1st one.

Thoughts for/against please

I think its a great idea Ian, I would certainly use one as it eliminates the need to have loads of wires connected to the battery terminals. You could also tuck the battery nicely out of the way knowing you have spare terminals that are easily accessible if you want to add other electrical items to your system.

Its certainley a neat way to provide outputs from a single source, but if the fuse goes it will not isolate or eliminate which unit is causing the fault. Unless of course each unit (or take off) is fused but then it sort of eliminates the need for this unit to be fused ? Other than that its a great neat way.

There is a fuse for each supply so if it blew you would know which  had done it.

Looks good.

It would be all about price unfortunately.

Sunshine's wiring tidy-up using strip connectors won't have cost him much. A fused busbar looks much more professional but will cost about £40 to £50.

What would you pay for it? I'm thinking of £10 or less.
