Small sub board

The only thing with a small sub board is the decorative side

Low level out the way.

 

[michufc]

Yes I thought that but these are really really fussy and when I told them about the sub board I thought the lady was going to cry

 

[michufc]

What about from the swa going to 4mm t/e then fcu for the lights just a thought

Recess the bloody thing into the wall and hang a picture of the wifey's mother over it.

 

[michufc]

Yes there is a weatherproof box on the outside mate
and the swa was already there

If you saw her face when I mentioned it. I am looking for another option if possible

Change the IP box for a IP rated FCU and work from there!

 

[michufc]

I thought from the swa come through in 4mm for the sockets the via fcu for the lights any thoughts

presuming bonding, rcd, etc all ok, could the breaker be derated, sockets as radial with, as above, lights via s/w fused spur, used as switch? what do they want to plug in?

[michufc]

Yes the cu is going to be changed as part of the job earth bonding is all ok so I can down grade the supply easily

Why is it the first thing that comes to mind when a small extension of any kind is mentioned is a bloody sub CU!! If i was that woman, i wouldn't be crying, i'd be kicking that person off the premises, and in no uncertain terms!!

Gotta be a 5 Week Wonder, or 17 Day whizz Kidd!!! lol!!!

Nothing wrong with just fcu

small sub board will do the trick

A boot up the Jacksie is far better, than that solution!!

yeah sub board gives the option to add other circuits at a later date.
