why would you wanna do that?Need a cable to run approx 100m from incoming supply to a new build house,cable will be buried under ground what is the mimimum size cable that could be used to make it comply with the regs? Copper/aluminium? Thanks
exactly Trev....why would they risk losing any profit opportunity here.....and you can be sure that they will have vectored that into the costs......If you're lucky the DNO will accept that but I wouldn't hold my breath for that if I were you.
It's their toy and you can't play with it usually
ok Trev...i can understand how the DNO would want to be sure of the job being done right.....so working on this basis....how is it that they often shirk their responsibilities when it comes to maintaining earthing arrangements that they have supplied...and are being used by consumers installations...?....and as regards to not signing off work that you havn`t been involved in ...at 1st, 2nd and ins and test.....well those that get up to such stuff leave themselves wide open dont they..lol...Not so much the profit opportunity Glenn. From a "doing it right" standpoint, how would the DNO be sure that there's not half a million tape joints in the buried cable? How would they be sure that the correct cable has been installed all the way along the run?
To me it comes back to the old part p thing, would you sign off a domestic install if you wern't involved 100%? and there's no difference here in my world
Damn you Glenn, you just pee'd on my fireworksok Trev...i can understand how the DNO would want to be sure of the job being done right.....so working on this basis....how is it that they often shirk their responsibilities when it comes to maintaining earthing arrangements that they have supplied...and are being used by consumers installations...?
well i can assure you that wasn`t the intention Trev:angel_smile: but i dont see why if they demand one thing....they cant see to the other n all.....its like movin the goalposts or summat innit....Damn you Glenn, you just pee'd on my fireworks
Bloody good point there mate I should have thought of that
Barn has been dropped and permission has been granted to build a 4 bedroom house,and the nearest point of supply is approx 100m away, around 6k to have cable laid by supplier so was thinking surely that it would be cheaper to buy cable and lay it and let them connect up????
