Hello all
First time relocating a DB and just want to clarify my plans and check if missing anything. I have attached a photo of current DB and and the fused isolator I am intending on using. The main head is being relocated on to back wall where board currently is by U.K power.....there is enough slack under floor boards for them to do this without extending cables. The new DB location is about 8 metres away. I intend on using 3 core SWA for this. From my calculations the additional voltage drop should not be to much of a concern? My main question as have never installed one of these isolator switches they are described as having both a 25 and 32mm knock out on top and bottom so plan would be to reposition meter above isolator and take 16mm tails in top of this along with 16mm earth which I will take from the MET. These will be in 32mm stuffing gland....I think I recall from past can get 3 x 16mm in a 32? Then I will gland out the bottom with my SWA and take this to new DB location. Not sure if these Lewden
isolators provide a 16mm earth connection bar? there's no mention of them in spec so may go with the Wylex one although a bit more pricey.
