Hi Guys,
Take a look at the picture below. (you may have to turn your head as i couldn't work out how to rotate it it).
As you can see, the DB has seen better days so i am going to replace it with a nice new one with plenty of ways.
I don't get to involved with domestic work as i really only work with industrial installations and bigger stuff. Few questions you guys hopefully will be able to help me with. I will just add that this is a TT System to this house.
1) How far does does the main intake and DB need to be away from the Gas Meter?(As you can see, it is pretty close)
2) I done a Ze on the existing board and was getting a silly reading! Do i need to be looking at installing a new earth rod? If so where is the best place to put it?
3) Choosing a new DB. I was thinking of getting the usual 2 x RCD split boards. Now do i need an RCD Main Switch to feed the Split board (if that makes sense). and if i do does that main switch ideally need to be 100ma?
or
4) can i put a normal DB in with a 100ma main switch and RCBO's to feed each circuit.
I've been a spark for 14years but only ever work on industrial installations and dont know that much about the domestic side of things these days. There are just a few little question im just not sure about when it comes to some of the regs that are involved in domestic installations.
Cheers Guys
Steve
