    Tails into metal switch fuse

    Yes I think I'll do that :-) that will probably be the way most people go it when the new amendment comes into force. Unless that is the price of the glands come down a lot or the manufactures include them with there metal consumer units

    Tails into metal switch fuse

    I've got a job where I'm running a Swa sub main to a 17th edition board. I've got to put a switchfuse by the meter and I'm intending to run tails from the meter into it. Previously I've put a male bush and locknut in the bottom and run the tails into that but I'm after other ideas that give...

    Consumer Unit

    We are all a helpful bunch of people!!! We do this in our spare time and don't get paid. It just wares thin after a while people are constantly getting stuck on simple things. Then run to the Internet and expect others to bail them out. You made the mistake of not checking fully before starting...

    Consumer Unit

    That's the very simple answer. OP do you know the existing loading of the distribution board ? Can the supply take your new circuit load ? If you say the board is packed it could well be running at full capacity already

    Consumer Unit

    Simple answer and doesn't involve a Henley block. Should have checked the board properly when quoting/ deciding how to install the job. Do you know what the loading is on the existing board ? Can the supply handle your new circuit.
