Hi Folks got a call today and went to look at a bungalow. The previous person has split the tails so one set goes to a old rewirable box 4 circuits the second set of tails goes to a bare bones job with one RCD this covers a new extension and sockets therein.
Due to space limitations my only way forward is a new small CU to replace rewirable box which the customer wants a quote for simple so far howver we have kitchen fitters involved and they want to turn supply on to kitchen sockets that do not as yet have RCD protection.
1. Am I right in thinking that the installation should have one isolator for the property and not an isolater for each box.
2. In the short term is it acceptable to extend socket cabling into the RCD protected CU so that I comply with the regs on the safety aspect.
Or can anyone see a better way forward, my brains are jelly at the moment one minute nothing now I have several jobs on the go.
Thanks
Chris
