Hi guys.
Just wanted to ask what code you would give an old wylex fuse board with wooden enclosure. It does have the plastic (plexolin I think it's called) plate at the back.
Also 2.5 T+E with 1.0mm CPC used for a ring main on a 3036 fuse.
Thanks in advance.

Also only has 16mm tails, tns system not sure what to give this if any.
yours in anticipation

If a building has a 100ma RCD unit as a main switch would you insist on a 30ma one also to protect socket outlets on a PIR
main switch as an rcd doesnt comply anyway. im thinking code 3
Also a spur taken of a spur ive coded as 1 as its a fire risk imo, would you agree??
no main water bond...
Hi, recently did a CU replacement. Tested before the change and circuits all good, but one odd thing I found is that the previous owner had installed his own version of a two-way switch for the hall light.
