Hi there need some advice customer wants consumer unit moved in to next room about 10 meters away, but the main 100 amp head where it is, how do I go about doing this? What cable? Size ? main switch by new fuse box ?henly block? Service earths new position? Any suggestions would be great I'm trying to convince to keep it where it is no joy.
Thank you in advance .

switched fuse at head onto new position, 25mm cables will need rcd protection if buried non armoured etc..

What if it was fed via a 16mm twin and earth and seperate 16mm earth. What would you put at the head end??

100 amp double pole switch metal clad by head with 25mm 3 core swa to new metal clad dual rcd fuse box with services run to new position is there anything cheaper I can do?

Personally would not bury the cable as it would need RCD protection

Either run some plastic trunking with 25mm^ L/N as it's an 100amp head with a 16mm^ E or a 2 core 25mm^ SWA but that could be expensive. AT the meter end you will need to fit quite a substantial fused switched unit, I'd go with a BS 88-2 protection device but you will need to do the calculations to make sure you meet disconnection times.
