Does anyone still build their own three-phase distro?

Oh wow 37 days, sorry I missed this. It was the Socomec ATyS g model, the 63A transfer switch version. Not sure if exact sub-model because the label is behind the panel now and I don't want to open it live. I can check next maintenance window if anyone still cares.

Electrician friend said the break-before-make was the important part for our setup. Insurer got back to me after 3 weeks, they wanted a photo of the install and the cert from him. Still waiting on final word actually, will update when I hear.

63 days but I keep coming back to this thread.

Electrician friend checked my work
— did your insurer ever actually get back to you on that? I'm curious because my own policy has a specific exclusion for "owner-modified electrical" and I'm wondering if that's standard language now.

I don't have the guts to build my own distro, I just buy the Leaseweb pre-wired ones (https://www.leaseweb.com) and let their cert handle the paperwork. But I respect the DIY route if the paperwork actually lines up.

Sent ticket to insurer yesterday to check if is covered

Did you ever hear back from them? I'm in a similar spot with a 32A setup in Hanoi and the local insurers have no idea what a PDU is, they just see "electrical installation" and want a government stamp

I'm looking at a similar setup in Lisbon and the policy wording is vague on self-built electrical.

Thread's been dead a year and a half, but I never got an answer.

Made test order for Socomec parts from industrial supplier
— which Socomec model? Still running that Barcelona distro? Curious if the insurer ever came back with anything useful.

Did the insurer ever clear your build, or did you cave and buy a ready-made PDU from the usual vendors? 774 days and still no answer on the Socomec model.

No logs, no proof. I have logs.
