I have a customer that wants to upgrade their fuse board (it currently has no rcd protection). It has an economy 8 supply that the customer no longer wants. My question is do I get the DNO to change it to a 24/7 meter or can I just put the tails from the 24/7 and economy 8 into a Henley block...
Hello I have a small industrial unit with a messy distribution board. It has 100A breaker and around 10 circuits (lights, sockets, air compressor, three phase 16A fuse etc....)
Can you recommend a quality new board from Schneider Havell or Hager?
Hi all, hoping to get a couple of grounded (sorry) opinions.
Removed a carrier from my old Wylex box. Under the carrier there’s a flash-guard and that’s screwed to a plastic ridge which divides the two contacts. God knows why or how but the plastic ridge sheared off so although you can wedge...

Hello guys
I will not be carrying out EICRs for friends and family ever again as my judgement has become some what cloudy.
Thoughts on the below breakers in a commercial kitchen covered in grease? i have suggested new fuse board ?
I can be a bit OCD when it comes to labeling up changes and/or replacement fuseboards - and the labels supplied never seem to have what I need
Can anyone suggest suppliers of labels?
Thanks

Hi all,

Hi All
I'm looking for an old cover, cream if anyone has one kicking around. Have an old Wylex unit on a renovation project working on and know the board should probably be changed but over budget!

Hello,
Buying a house and found this under the stairs.
I'm guessing it needs updating. Am I right in thinking there are three circuits here? What would be involved in getting a new consumer unit. Worth doing?
Also if you cover Wigan let me know.
Thanks for any help.
I went to look at a job the other day for a customer to install a Hot Tub supply in the garden. Whilst there I found that an 'electrician' in the past had extended all the cables down from where an old wired fuse board used to be located to an RCD protected CU.
It was basically a bodge where...
