Changing Re-Wireable fuses to MCBS

[roukel01]

Hello

I'm in need of a little help.

Someone has phoned me today because they are selling their house and something hs cropped up.

Basically they have changed their Wylex Bs3036 fuses to Type B MCB's. Their solicitors are asking for a certificate for the work that has been done, and they don't have one!

What certificate should be have been issued?? It's not exactly a consumer unit change strictly speaking, but the method of protection has been changed , I couldn't give her an answer over the phone and told them I'd look into it.

Your advice on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Lee

The certificate should have been issued when change was made tell them to go back to whoever completed the work and ask for one !

Its all sorted now, we went and had a look, turns out its a TT system with an old Voltage type trip, also the earth to the earth rod had been cut off when they painted the outside of the house! oh, and no bonding to gas or water, so there's quite a bit to do!

Indeed as has been said, amongst other things, you need to make sure that disconnection times are met.

you wont get disconnection times with rewireables or mcbs.only rcds
