    Metal saddles inside trunking when only 400mm off a concrete floor?

    Additional consumer unit - tails in trunking - how?

    I need to install an additional consumer unit. Normally I would put the existing tails into Henley blocks and feed both CU from there, but in this case there is an isolation switch, and the output tails are in metal trunking from the isolator to the CU. The new CU is going next to the old one on...

    UK Thoughts on Meter Tails Install?

    I’m rewiring a massive house and there’s a feed to a c.u in the old black rubber cable that needs replacing. I know that Meter tails follow the same guidelines as other domestic wiring, but i’m trying to avoid putting a rcd on supply end of the tails. The run is about 20meters long and going...
