I'm an idiot!!! Of course it's OK. (according to BS7671, as their instructions don't apply to to Eire)

[mary20]

[mary20]

[jeremy]

I'm so sorry!! My internet connection went down. Depending on the TIME (ie year) it was installed, then the db situation could easily be appropriate for then but not for now.PS I wasn't for one second implying that you were an eejit, more me for not reading the question!!

I'm assuming that the various circuits have their own mcbs?

 

[mary20]

Wellllll, ....It was certainly OK since the introduction of the Consumer Unit, that's what, ....for the past 65+ years or so!!

So tell us, what do you find wrong with this arrangement, apart from the fact that you only know split RCD CU's.
Have you given any thought to this question, like what would they have needed a split bus bar, neutral, earth bars for??

Unless there is some rule that applies differently in Ireland then it sound fine

Hi Mary, nice to see a post from you. How is the trade in Ireland? Is there any sign of your economy picking up? I was concerned that we may have frightened you away. I can't add anything of value as I'm not familiar with your regulations. Best wishes, Mark.
