Why did I replace the electrical panel in the country

I spent a day and a half reassembling and connecting the electrical panel in the country. I had to redo several cables.
The result is beauty!

Why did I replace the electrical panel in the country

For ten years I had a plastic shield for 8 modules at my dacha.

I recently learned that all plastic shields without exception (from the cheapest to the most expensive) are somehow made of combustible plastic (

Back in the spring, I bought the widest single-row metal shield - IEK ShchRn-18z for 18 modules, and put it only on the last week, since there was a second reason for replacing the shields - it was necessary to add two lines, and in the old small shield there was no places.

Initially, the new shield body looked like this.

I removed the door, pushed the DIN rail forward 30 mm, securing it with long screws and nuts, and secured the plate in place of the door. All this was done so that the machines were more convenient to quickly turn on and off (at the dacha I do this all the time) and the voltage relay indicators were visible. As a bonus, there was a lot of space behind the DIN rail, allowing all the wires to be routed there.

How convenient it is when the shield is spacious! You don't have to cram everything into focus.

This is how all the cables looked after I removed the old shield.

The three cables on the left had to be redone in order to bring all the cables into the shield from above. Of course, all the cables will be removed into the cable channels, I just didn't have them at the time of the shield bulkhead.

Of the ten machines, eight are still in use, two were left "in reserve" so that the comb could not be altered later if necessary.

Via Chinese voltage relay (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1245429.html) missed only the phase wire (zero there still goes through), and connected the zero to it with a thin wire. Then I plan to put a fuse in the break of this wire in order to protect against a short circuit in the Chinese relay, just in case.

P.S. Do not pay attention to the protruding bare ends of the zero input - I will redo the input in the near future.
