Hi there, I recently had a home rewiring and the electrician spotted we had no earth. It's an old house and it was never added by previous owners.
He installed a WT Henley series 4 cutout device for the time being as it was a more cost effective solution.
He's wired it up and now the property...
Hi.
Quick question, tightening torque for 25mm 6491x meter tails into a Henley block, anyone know or would it most likely be just FT?
The Henley Box i have is double pole 3mm allen key type, good job i still have my trusty insulated 3mm allen tool that i 'acquired' from the Eastern Electricity...
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the WT Henley Series 8 house service cutout. I have one of these installed at my house and it has 3 live fuses. I am looking to turn my house into 3 separate flats all with their own electric meter. My current WT Henley Series 8 house...
In the UK, It is said that the neutral wire is connected to ground/earth wire along the way back to the substation.
Ive inherited a setup where the incoming SWA neutral wire is hard to join/reconnect to as the previous electrician hasn't used a henley block due to limited space... therefore the...
I might need to remove an old heater CU leaving some cable holes in the Henley block where its tails currently go. Anyone got a good suggestion for an insulating plug for those holes?
Hi there. I’m installing a secondary mini consumer box with a 40 amp RCBO.
The main tail that comes from the meter is 25mm2 and goes in to a Henley block and then another set of 25mm2 tails come out from this and go in to the main consumer unit of the house.
Mains service fuse is rated at...

We have a shed about 60m from the house where would like a supply. I've already ran some 2 core 4mm SWA and wired up a CU with a 30mA incomer, it will be protected upstream by a 16A MCB. I went for 2 core because I want the...
Hello peoples ?
I am installing an additional consumer unit to an installation. I’m going to stack them one above the other, normally I would use the henley blocks but I was wondering if there is an alternate solution to this? Is there any way Split the supply cables within the CU’s?
I know...
Hello.
Before I bother a professional with a call out, could I ask for some advice on here.
Our cat managed to dislodge the cut-off fuse on our board, shutting the power off. I pushed it back in and everything's back to normal. But in doing so, it made some rather nasty noises and it doesn't...
Hey Everyone,
I'm in the process of rebuilding a house in the highlands of Scotland that suffered a significant escape of water in the attic, place is trashed.
So my question on the mains in. The mains comes into a 100amp fuse then into the meter. Out of the meter is an armoured that runs...
Looked at a job today and found something which I believe to be odd.
TNCS system with tails out of the new smart meter into a small henley block. Then 1 set of tails only from the henley block into an old square d cu. The thing I found odd is that the henley block has what I assume is a DNO...
